Our Story

McMurray Aviation thrives with experience in the remote wilderness. 

Accessing off-the-grid locations where there is no road access. Our typical runways are made out of grass, gravel/sand, ice or water. Whether the flight is to take travellers to fishing/hunting lodges, northern cities or flying groceries and necessities for work camps, a flight with us will be an experience you will never forget. 

McMurray Aviation started in February of 1984 by married duo, Wade and Renee Komarnisky. Currently we are the longest aviation company running in Fort McMurray. Starting as just a flight school, the company expanded into small charters and has been growing emensly ever since. As of today we offer flight training, charters, aerial tours, aircraft maintenance, and we are the main air taxi air provider for the rural community of Fort Chipewyan.

Our growth began with a demand in the industry, but now has become about keeping aviation affordable, and accessible to everyone so we share in the experience of northern Canadian living and travel.

Our Hangar

The facility is an insulated metal clear span structure of 20,000 sq. ft. The building subdivided into areas used for offices, reception, parts storage and aircraft maintenance.

Our Location

Our base operation is on the north side of the runway of the Fort McMurray Airport. The main terminal is located on the south and is quite the distance to travel by foot. Taxi services can be caught just outside departures of the south terminal to our facility for a $15 fare.
Alternatively, you can call our main line (780) 791-2182 and if someone is available we can send our van over to pick you up.

McMurray Aviation Cessna 172 XVA

Cessna 172

Still the most popular aircraft ever built, the Cessna 172 is designed to take advantage of some of the most advanced aviation technology available. The result is an unprecedented blend of luxury, performance, value, and style. Extra comfort, styling, and power with the legendary reliability, value, and forgiving handling of a skyhawk. The Skyhawk is a joy to fly and we currently have four.

Cessna 206 

The Cessna 206 has always been regarded as one of the premier work vehicles. But just as easily, the 206 is a great passenger aircraft holding up to five individuals. They’re tough airplanes, and that endears them to operators for whom where you can go and how much you can carry is far more important than how fast you can get there.

McMurray Aviation Caravan XCL

Grand Caravan 

We have three Caravans that lives up to its grand name. Thanks to a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-114A engine and three-blade prop, it carries 100 cubic feet and 500 pounds more useful load than the Caravan 675. And even with all the available seating, the Grand Caravan can change roles quickly by converting to a cargo hauler in less than half an hour, doubling its duty.

McMurray Aviation Beech 1900

Beechcraft 1900C 

The Beechcraft 1900 is a 18-passenger, pressurized twin-engine turboprop fixed-wing aircraft. 1900C variant, has an enlarged cargo door for ease in cargo loading and is ideal for travelling long distances

Cessna 206 on Amphibs (Floats)

Instant runway; Just add water. We have one Cessna 206 on amphibs and it is perfect aircraft for those lighter loads. With approximately 750 lb. of a useful load, this airplane is ideally suited for one to three people and light baggage, or straight cargo.

Cessna Caravan on Amphibs (Floats)

Instant runway; Just add water. Our two Caravan Amphibians are the undisputed king of land, air and water. The largest single-engine float plane currently manufactured can be configured any way that suits your needs – high- or low-density passengers, cargo, or a combination of both.
