Photo: Meet Air Inuit’s soon-to-be captain

Melissa Haney is pictured in the cockpit of an Air Inuit Dash 8 at the Kuujjuaq airport March 21, before heading north to do a sched run up Nunavik’s Ungava coast. Haney, born and raised in Inukjuak, has been flying for Air Inuit for more than a decade, and by this summer, will make captain on the Dash 8 — the first Inuk woman at the airline to do so.
