We recommend that you check all of your baggage as there is limited space available in the aircraft cabin.

Sporting Equipment

You may bring 2 items of checked baggage at no charge. You may substitute a piece of sporting equipment for a checked bag, provided it meets our baggage size and weight guidelines.

The following items may be accepted by Air North if the item meets the requirement, as set out above:

Hockey Equipment
The oversize fee will be waived if the hockey bag's primary use is to transport equipment then the overweight fee will also be waived (up to 100 lbs). The excess piece fee will be charged if applicable.

Fishing & Hunting Equipment
The oversize fee will be waived, but the overweight or excess piece fee will be charged if applicable. Fishing equipment is considered a fishing rod and tackle box. Fishing rods must be encased in a hard shell cylinder fishing rod container.

Firearms and Ammunition
Unloaded firearms can be accepted as either checked baggage or cargo and should be in a locked, hard-sided case. Bolt-action firearms must have the bolt removed and packed separately. The passenger is required to sign a Firearms Declaration Form declaring that the firearm is unloaded and acknowledging your responsibility under the criminal code.

Only ammunition in Division 1.4S as defined in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, weighing less than 11 lbs (5 kg) per customer will be accepted for carriage as checked baggage, only provided it is packed securely, preferably in the manufacturer's original container or in a container specifically designed for the carriage of small arms ammunition. Ammunition other than 1.4S will not be accepted as checked baggage.

Ammunition weighing more than 11 lbs (5 kg) must be shipped as cargo. Shippers must comply with the provisions of the dangerous goods regulations.

Bicycles
An oversized fee of $25 is applicable. The overweight or excess piece fee will be charged if applicable. Bicycles must be packed to prevent any damage. We strongly recommend a bicycle box and if one is not available at minimum we ask that the tires are partially deflated and handle bars are turned in.

Are accepted but they must be packed to prevent any damage.

Sports Rackets
Are permitted in carry-on baggage when they are within the sizing restrictions, however they must be properly packaged to prevent damage.

If your sporting equipment is improperly packed, you will be asked to sign a Limited Liability Release Form at check-in, releasing Air North of any liability for damage. Sporting equipment is subject to all applicable excess baggage fees (extra piece, overweight or oversize) unless otherwise stated.

Damaged Baggage
Air North does everything possible to ensure careful baggage handling, but occasionally baggage or contents can be damaged during the processes.

Damage due to excess weight or over packing is not covered. In the event that your baggage has been damaged please go directly to a customer service agent. The Air North agent will fill out the required documentation. If it is decided that your baggage must be repaired the agent will offer either immediate settlement equal to the cost of repair, or we'll arrange for your baggage to be repaired at our cost up to Air North's maximum liability of $250.

Delayed Baggage
If your baggage is delayed in arriving, please go directly to an Air North agent. The agent will fill out the required documentation.

Most delayed baggage arrives within 24 hours but if you have reached your destination, and your baggage has not been recovered within 24 hours, you will be authorized to spend up to $25 a day for 3 days to help cover the cost of incidental expenses while we continue to search. Your baggage will be delivered to you as soon as it arrives. In rare cases where the bag is not recovered within 30 days, the Airport Baggage Agent will settle your claim up to Air North's Maximum liability of $250, excluding interim expenses of up to $75.
