Canadian North is a Canada domestic airline based in Calgary serving many Northern Territory and Nunavut destinations.

Because of poor conditions of Canada North, Canadian North has to use aircrafts of good takeoff performance, like B737-200 and Fokker F28.

But both B737-200 and F28 are long out of production, and the new aircrafts, like A320, B737NG, Embraer 170/175/190/195, have poor takeoff performance. So it would be very difficult to choose right aircraft for Canadian North after retirement of existing fleet.

What aircarfts would be suitable for Canadian North? CRJ? B717?

Canadian North was sold to Air NorTerra Inc after the purchase of Canadian by competitor Air Canada. It just has its logo and website (www.cdn-north.com) changed today (7 Sep 2002), thus removing the only ex-Canadian remant. Its IATA code was changed from CP to 5T. Oh poor it is! We can't remember the good old Canadian days!
