The world's first reengineered Boeing 737-800NG Combi aircraft was certified by Transport Canada on Jan. 12 and has officially entered service.
KF Aerospace converted the 737-800 to transport both passengers and cargo simultaneously. The aircraft includes a forward cargo compartment with space for 5 pallets. It has a max capacity of 5,292 lbs. The aft section is configured as a 90-seat passenger cabin. The jet also features in-flight wifi by Starlink, increased fuel efficiency and improved passenger comfort.
"Our investment in this next-generation combi reflects Air Inuit's commitment to innovation that directly serves the unique passenger and freight needs of the communities and the people we serve," said Christian Busch, Air Inuit president and CEO. "This aircraft allows us to modernize northern jet service while preserving the flexibility that is essential to our mission."

The jet belongs to Air Inuit and will fly on the company's Montréal-Kuujjuaq route. The airline states that the aircraft is part of a fleet-modernization strategy. Air Inuit purchased three Boeing 737-800s in 2023 to replace its 737-200 fleet. The conversion of the third 737-800 is scheduled to be completed in February.
