our partners
Our company was born thanks to the support of important socio-economic partners: the Société de Gestion Ekuanitshinnuat and Nunavik Rotors.
Nunavik Rotors
Nunavik Rotors, an Air Inuit subsidiary specializing in helicopter transport, is an important partner of Innukoptéres. This locally owned and operated company has been active in the air transport field since 1998. Based in Kuujjuaq, it offers its customers quick access throughout the Nunavik region as well as in neighbouring territories.
The Ekuanitshinnuat Management Company
Formed by the Council of Ekuanitshit Innu, the Ekuanitshinnuat Management Company (SGE) is a holding company that oversees all commercial activities affecting the community of Ekuanitshit. It is a for-profit organization with a mandate to increase collective wealth and has interests in a number of businesses, including fishing, construction and transportation. The SGE thus promotes the economic development of the community by reinvesting, among other things, a share of the profits it generates.
