Specialized in passenger rented trips and goods trips throughout North America and Europe, Nolinor 737-200s, equipped with gravel groups, is uniquely suitable for North Canada’s unprecedented corridors, which enhances its dominance in a faded fleet.
This distinctive avatar makes Nolinor indispensable for remote societies and industries where no other plane can serve.

This ability is vital, as President Marco Broadoum mentioned in an interview in 2024.

C-GNLK: The oldest planes in the commercial service
The crown jewel for the Nolinor Fleet is C-GNLK. Not only is the oldest Boeing 737 in service today, however It is also the oldest plane in a commercial operation anywhere in the world. As 356 737-200 off Boeing’s Renton, the collection line in Washington, this 51-year-old plane entered service with the Dutch company Transavia in May 1974.
Hand change 23 times, briefly operated in the United States in favor of Florida (June to December 1983), headquartered in the marina Marcier (From January to May 1984) But she spent most of her life in Europe before joining Nolinor. It explains its endurance ability to strong maintenance from 737-200, which has been declared at home since June 1999.

The number of other operators in Nolinor’s Five Boeing is more than 737-200, as many of them fly only one or two.
The context and challenges of Nolinor Aviation and Challenges
While 737-200s is the backbone of Nolinor, its ten-storey fleet includes 737-300QC (a rapid change capable of goods and passenger, with a capacity of 130 passengers), three 737-400 seconds (up to 159 passengers), and one 737-800. One of 737-400 works for OWG (Off We Go), a section of Nolinor focusing on rented trips to entertainment destinations in the Caribbean Sea, while 737-800 also supports Owg. (At the time of writing this report, 737-400 was parked at Miami International Airport (MIA), while 737-800 Operation Roads inside the Canadel. This raises questions about whether OWG meets its intended mission. It was launched during the epidemic, and the project appears to have fought for traction.)
However, only 737-200s can handle stones, which makes them indispensable for northern operations.
The preservation of bright aircraft is challenges, as shown in the November 2024 incident that involves one of the 737-400s from Nolinor, C-GGWX. During a flight from Kumbek City Jean -Lisag International (YQB) to the Apush Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador, pilots discovered that the main left landing equipment did not extend during the intermediate stoppage approach at Sagueni Bagotville Airport (YBG) in Quebec.
Choose a conversion to YMX, the plane landed safely, but was severely damaged. All passengers 87 and its crew were evacuated without being hurt. Although it is not 737-200, the accident confirms the complications of the operation of old aircraft.
The unique role from 737-200: Life Arter to the North
the Boeing 737-200The unique role of its kind in Nolinor’s operations stems from its unparalleled ability to work on the runways of gravel, a feature that no other plane can be repeated in the commercial service. The remote areas in northern Canada, which are characterized by wide distances, soil soil, and the minimum infrastructure, are highly dependent on air transport.
Stock groups 737-200-Special modifications including reinforced landing equipment, protective shields, anti-slip systems-they can land on non-paved surfaces such as dirt, gravel or ice, common in mining camps, original communities, and exploration sites. These corridors, which are often carved from rough terrain, are the only viable access points where the methods are not present or impractical due to the frosty soil that shakes the stability of the traditional sidewalk.
For Nolinor, 737-200s is not just aircraft but rather a lifeline, as the basic supplies, equipment and employees offer places that cannot be reached by other means. The composition of Combi ‘Jets allows up to 119 passengers or 30,000 pounds of goods, and adapts to various needs – whether it is the transfer of workers to a mining project or the delivery of food and medical supplies to remote villages.
This flexibility is crucial in the area where seasonal weather is extremist, from snowstorms in the Arctic to the melting of the muddy, which increases the complexity of logistical services. Provides the ability of 737-200 to work in these circumstances, along with its jet speed, a great advantage over the slower turbocharged aircraft, which reduces transportation times and increases efficiency in time-sensitive goods such as damaged goods or urgent parts of machines.
Unlike the latest aircraft that require long paved runways, 737-200 can reach short and wild-carved air smugglers carved in the wild, often less than 5,000 feet. This has kept this ability to demand the demand for mining companies, government contracts and community support, as it is the primary link for the outside world. For example, the Nolinor bases are placed in Yellowknife (Yzf) and Edmonton (Yeg) 737-200 to serve the northwestern lands and resource-rich Alberta areas, where stones are standard.
The rugged 737-200 ingenuity also appeals to flying lovers and historians, who marvel at his ability to prosper in environments that will confirm modern aircraft. However, this unique role comes with responsibility-the internal maintenance of Nolinor is that these turbine aircraft are still noticeable, a task that made it more important through their specialized operations.
Nolinor looks forward while sticking to what makes it a sign
Nolinor plans to provide a friend to the environment and mixed Natillos has A cargo plane by the end of the contract, indicating the payment of the update. Until then, 737-200s remains indispensable, linking northern Canada with unparalleled ability.
As the largest operator of this iconic aircraft, Nolinor Aviation maintains a piece of aviation heritage while serving some of the most challenging ways in the world, captivating those who yearn for the golden age.
It may be high, and they are definitely smoke. But Boeing 737-200 is a beautiful engineering masterpiece. It is good to know that they will not go anywhere near – at least in Nolinor Aviation.
