ABOUT

Our Story

Simpson Air, is one of the first air charter companies in Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories and the oldest established flying business in the Mackenzie Valley. We have proudly been offering air charter service in the Nahanni area since the 1960's. 

 

Ted Grant was captivated in 1976 by the wondrous scenery while being stationed in Fort Simpson with the RCMP, and purchased the company in 1981. Ted and his staff have played host to many tourists from around the world including Britain’s' Prince Andrew, Dr. Werner Neifer, Former Chairman of Mercedes Benz, plus foreign ambassadors, senators and sports personalities.


Simpson Air conveniently operates from the island airstrip in Fort Simpson providing wheeled or float-equipped aircraft for charter services.

 

Simpson Air is the only company in the area offering a secure, fenced compound, a hanger, full washroom facilities, and free parking.
