Nordair (IATA: ND, ICAO: NDR, and Callsign: Nordair) is a defunct Quebec-based regional airline founded in 1947 from the merger of Boreal Airways and Mont Laurier Aviation. The airline operated from the 1950s to the 1980s. Most of its business was international charters and other contracts. It also operated flights to a number of destinations in the Northwest Territories. Nordair originally flew out of Montreal's two airports: Dorval Airport (now Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport) and Montréal-Mirabel International Airport.
Merger and Aftermath
On March 27, 1987, the airline merged with Canadian Airlines. The jet operation was absorbed into Canadian while the turboprop operations were absorbed into Inter-Canadien.
Another company called Nordair Quebec 2000 Incorporated operated in 2000 as a domestic regional carrier and cargo operator in Quebec, but the license and license applications for the airline were suspended in 2006 by Transport Canada and once again the Nordair name disappeared.
