Sault Ste. Marie, ON, January 5, 2026
Travelers flying through Sault Ste. Marie Airport (YAM) have something new to look forward to! Bearskin Airlines has introduced enhanced comfort and capacity on select flights across its northern Ontario network. Starting January 5, the Dash 8 aircraft will operate on key routes, including:

Thunder Bay (YQT) → Sault Ste. Marie (YAM) → Sudbury (YSB) → North Bay (YYB)

This upgrade means more space in the cabin and a smoother travel experience for passengers connecting between these communities. On Mondays and Tuesdays, travelers will notice slight schedule adjustments as Bearskin integrates the Dash 8 into its operations.

How to know if you are flying on a Dash 8?
Simply check your boarding pass for the aircraft type. If you see “Dash 8,” you are in for a roomier ride, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey.

Before you travel, Bearskin reminds passengers to review carry-on and personal item guidelines to ensure a hassle-free experience.
