About Perimeter Aviation Airlines
Perimeter Aviation, founded by William J. Wehrle in 1960, was Canada's first private IFR School. In 2017, Exchange Income Corporation (TSX EIF) made the decision that Perimeter Aviation would join Bearskin Airlines, to enhance both airlines and foster continued growth. The merger had two main objectives: to keep the best from these iconic northern aviation brands and to jointly develop and offer new services and products for our customers. The merger was completed Dec 31, 2018. Bearskin Airlines (the legal entity) is no longer operational. Exchange Income Corporation decided to keep the Bearskin Brand and continue to operate the Bearskin Brand service within the new Perimeter Aviation. Perimeter offers cargo shipping and regularly scheduled passenger services to more than 33 communities across Manitoba and Northern Ontario. Perimeter also has the ability to chart custom-chartered flights to any North American destination.
