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 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.
