In the booming Canadian north there’s a maverick airline called Arctic Air. Mel, the cantankerous owner, is keeping his crew of pilots in the air while Bobby, his headstrong business partner, is trying to save the airline from “crashing”. Together with the whole Arctic Air family, they are scrambling to restructure the company’s financing, land lucrative new contracts and overcome challenges both natural and man-made: deadly storms, mechanical breakdowns, hijackings, medical emergencies, drug smuggling operations and plane crashes.
