The airline was established and started operations in 1978 using a
de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver aircraft. The airline is collectively owned by the
Inuit of
Nunavik through the
Makivik Corporation. In 1984 it acquired
Chaparal Charters and its fleet of two
Twin Otters and one
Douglas DC-3. In 2012, Air Inuit relocated their headquarters to a new multi-purpose facility on
Côte-Vertu Boulevard near the
Montréal–Trudeau International Airport. In 2023, Air Inuit announced the retirement of its
Boeing 737-200 Combi aircraft. The airline will replace the Boeing 737-200 with three Boeing 737-800 Combi aircraft. ==Destinations==
