Before it's rebranding, Yukon North started life as Yukon Air Services, flying HS748 aircraft to northern remote communities, and down to Edmonton. Edmonton become a focus hub for linking passengers with the North, with YAS forming interlining agreements with both Air Canada and Canadian Pacific Airlines. The 737-200C was acquired in 1978 to increase cargo and passenger capacity, and continues on to this day.
The city of Edmonton continues to be a focus city for Yukon North, allowing it to launch a successful charter service to vacation destinations such as Las Vegas, Palm Springs, and San Diego, using a 737-300 aircraft. Operations such as this proved essential to profitability for the company, and management is looking at a second 737-300 to link eastern Canada with Whitehorse and Yellowknife.
