Nakina

Post by Beacon Final »

Hey all just wondering if anyone could give out some info on Nakina Air Service or another operators that go in and out of Thunder Bay (YQT)

I am planning a trip there and was just looking for some tips. Is the Nakina CP an ok guy?

Also does a bus actually from YQT all the way to Nakina or just south into Geralton? The bus site was a joke.....

Any help would be great thanks.

think you need 500hrs to get hired on there. the pay is top notch, and the planes are great. you could do much worse.

The YQT flights are passenger scheds on a Pilatus. All aircraft are base in Nakina. The bus will get you as far as Geraldton. From there it's about a 45 minute drive north depending on how much damage you want to do to the suspension of your car. Good luck.

ps. Great place to work.

My two cents

Owner is abusive and terrible to work for. You'll build your time quickly, and fly with a good bunch of guys, but other than that... Nakina isn't the greatest place to spend a few years in.

Good luck
