Working with Carson Air
Imagine looking out your window every day to a different view—one day, flying over the beaches of Tofino, the next day flying into the tight valleys of Castlegar; and the next flying over the Pacific Ocean to Haida Gwai.
At Carson Air, every day is truly a unique experience. From providing medevac services across BC, Alberta, and into the US to transporting cargo throughout Western Canada to training the next generation of pilots, the team at Carson Air is always supporting communities and industries with exceptional flight services.
We employ medevac pilots, cargo pilots, flight instructors and maintenance crew members at our Kelowna, Vancouver, Calgary and Prince George locations.
