Alkan Air (AKN, Whitehorse International) is leasing three King Air 350s from the Yukon First Nations Air Leasing Limited Partnership (YFNAL LP), which recently purchased the turboprops to “enhance the local aviation company’s air ambulance capabilities.”
In a statement, Alkan Air CEO Lacia Kinnear declared: “These three King Air 350 aircraft represent the next chapter for air ambulance services in the Yukon.” She added that the aircraft also represent a new partnership model “in which Yukon First Nations are directly invested in the infrastructure.”
According to the agreement, YFNAL LP owns 75% of the three new King Air 350s, while Alkan Air owns the remainder.
The three aircraft are C-FWGH (msn FL-1136), C-GPDC (msn FL-114), and C-GALK (msn FL-1067). According to Transport Canada’s registry, these were incorporated into Alkan’s certificate in October 2025. The company’s fleet comprises one DHC-6-300, one DHC-2, one DHC-3, four Cessna Aircraft Company 208s, four more King Air B300s, two King Air B200s, and two Do228-200s.
Finally, Alkan Air will enter into a new ten-year contract on April 1, 2026, with the government of Yukon to continue providing the territory with an air ambulance service. The agreement has an option to be extended for an additional two years.
