Iskwew is pronounced: ISS-KWAY-YO
Iskwew is a Cree word for woman. The name was chosen to celebrate the first Indigenous woman owned airline, all women, and all those lifting women. It was chosen as an act of reclamation of womanhood, matriarchal leadership, and language.
Iskwew Air is committed to becoming a completely carbon neutral airline. We complete a carbon inventory at the end of each year to quantify our operating greenhouse gas emissions, and then offset them. We will be offsetting all of the fuel used in every flight and doing our part to exist gently on our planet
