Tintina Air is pilot owned and operated 24-hour, year-round on-demand air charter service. Based in Whitehorse, we offer IFR and VFR charters throughout the Yukon, NWT, Northern BC, and Alaska, specializing in bush work on wheels. Tintina is dedicated to top notch customer service and above all else, safety. Our team is comprised of a small, tight-knit, experienced crew that takes pride in keeping company morale high and providing an enjoyable, fun, professional and safe work environment. We are currently seeking TWO full-time seasonal Caravan Captains starting either April 1, 2026 through October 18, 2026 or April 20, 2026 through to October 26, 2026, with the possibility of negotiating full-time year round work.

We are offering a rare opportunity for a pilot to have a good balance between the exciting bush environment as well as the calculated IFR world.

Our 900 or 950hp Texas Turbine converted “Supervans” are equipped with top of the line equipment including G600TXi avionics and GFC600 autopilots. These meticulously maintained and aesthetically pleasing machines operate into and out of more demanding regions and airstrips than most and require excellent decision making skills as well as hands and feet. Our work is challenging, far from repetitive, and nowhere near ordinary Caravan work keeping it both exciting and rewarding. We encourage you to check out our Instagram to get a feel for our work.
