A similar flight would cost approximately $410.

Bearskin Airlines and Aeroplan Partnership

The addition of Bearskin Airlines to Aeroplan strengthens the offering of Canadian regional carriers. This improves travel to remote regions and offers more point redemption options to save on these flights, which can be expensive.

Bearskin thus joins other regional partners in the Aeroplan network, such as PAL Airlines, Canadian North, and Air Inuit.

Since October 28, 2026, Harbour Air has also joined these regional partners, this time on the West Coast, with seaplane flights from 9,000 Aeroplan points.
