Heading out for a week of fly-in fishing? Need to charter a floatplane to get your team to a remote lodge or job site? Whether you’re flying for business, leisure, or a sightseeing tour, River Air delivers dependable air charter service in true Canadian bush plane style. Our experienced team and well-maintained aircraft ensure a safe, comfortable journey — no matter how far off the grid you’re headed.

River Air operates two strategically located bases in Northwestern Ontario — our main seaplane base in Kenora, and a secondary base in Minaki offering both floatplane and runway operations. Based in the heart of Lake of the Woods country, we provide access to a region where floatplane travel is often the preferred — and sometimes only — way to go. At River Air, we make it easy to reach even the most remote destinations across Ontario’s wilderness and beyond.
