Air Inuit is introducing a $700 fare cap on all travel routes for Nunavik beneficiaries under the Ilaujuq program.
The program is a partnership between Makivvik and Air Inuit.
Beneficiaries currently receive four tickets each year for 70 per cent off round-trip Air Inuit flights or certain cargo shipments such as snowmobiles and ATVs, according to Air Inuit’s website. The discount can cover up to $900 per trip, with flights between Montreal and Kuujjuaq capped at $700.
Starting Feb. 1, the $700 cap will apply to all routes. The four tickets for 70 per cent off round-trip flights will still apply.
“The change means a standardized $700 cap under the program which means more savings for beneficiaries,” said Tim Duboyce, media co-ordinator for Air Inuit, in an email Monday.
Each ticket can be used once for either one round-trip flight or eligible cargo.
Tickets issued under the Ilaujuq program will remain valid for one year from the date or purchase.
