Air North

The Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation of Old Crow also began investing in Air North during this time. This investment enabled Air North to acquire two Boeing 737-200 jets in 2002.

In 2010, the airline started a new fleet expansion and modernization plan, purchasing a 737-400 and a winglet-equipped 737-500.

In 2017, two ATR 42, both combi aircraft, were introduced to replace existing Hawker Siddeley HS 748 aircraft, ending worldwide scheduled passenger HS-748 service. With newer aircraft in service, the three 737-200 Series and five HS 748s were retired or sold. Some are now parked behind Air North's maintenance base and used for spare parts and staff training.

During the 2021 Canadian federal election, an Air North Boeing 737-500 was chartered by the New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh's campaign.

In 2024, the company's fleet was further updated with the introduction of two Boeing 737 Next Generation. Both of the 737-800 are equipped with winglets, improved performance and updated, Boeing Sky-style interiors.

Since the arrival of the Boeing 737s, the main Air North base in Whitehorse has steadily expanded. It now includes the original hangar which is now used as a cargo warehouse and ground equipment shop, a new aircraft maintenance hangar, a reservations and administration building, an operations centre, an in-house catering and cabin services department, and a fuelling facility. Air North also operates secondary bases in Vancouver, British Columbia and Dawson City, Yukon. The in-house catering building opened in the mid-2000s, enabling Air North to offer in-flight meals. Yukon products are featured when possible, and often include Midnight Sun coffee and Yukon Brewing beer. Air North launched its inflight magazine in partnership with North of Ordinary Media in February 2007. Now owned by Nordwind Inc. in Whitehorse published as The Yukon Magazine, it is released quarterly and is available in-flight, by subscription, and at retailers across Canada.

The remainder of Air North's revenue comes from the operation of a bistro at Whitehorse Airport, ground handling services, providing ground handling for WestJet, at Whitehorse and Old Crow, as well as jet fuel (Jet-A), refuelling services at Whitehorse Airport. Air North is currently both the main fixed-base operator (FBO) and provider of Jet-A fuel service in Whitehorse.

In May 2022, Air North launched its inaugural twice-weekly flight to Toronto via Yellowknife.
