In conjunction with Transport Canada, Summit certified our fleet of Avro RJs for gravel operations in Canada allowing us to support Fly In Fly Out (FIFO) programs into unpaved strips. This certification and flight test program process took almost a full year but resulted in the certification of a jet that is clearly well suited to our harsh Arctic environment.
