Default Voyageur Airways

Wondering if there are any experiences out there with this Canadian operator. They fly King Airs and DHC-7's, amoung other things. I'm interested in the scientific charter flight support at the poles... anyone have any info to pass on?


Thanks,

Ronin

My apologies.... I was getting Ken Boyle's group mixed up with Voyageur. Same question applies, but to Ken Boyle Air.

Thanks!

Voyageur indeed does fly Dash 7's and King Air's. You might be thinking of Ken Borek Air, who fly Twotters, B99's and King Airs. I do believe that both companies have worldwide bases, for sure KBA does.

Ya you might be thinking about Ken Borek. They are basicaly the best of the best at what they do. Lots of Arctic work, does charter work around the globe and also a permanent twin otter operation in the Maldives. Main base is in Calgary with rotations up to northern stations.
THis is the company that had to send in the twin otters to save that doctor from the south pole during winter a few years back when the USAF couldnt get in!

They hire Americans?

Sound like an adventure - I need one after the USAF. I peaked in my AF career - no one can process EPR , OPR, and powerpoint a briefing like I can.

Any Borek pilot's in the house? What a cool operation that sounds like, for someone that wants something different!
