History

Arthur Fecteau (1910-1987) born in Saint-Marie-de-Beauce, Canada, started his pilot career in 1930, at the aérodrome du Bois Gomin, after his brother Joseph. In 1936,The two brothers were offering airplane rides. Joseph went in the Côte-Nord area and Arthur the Abitibi region.[2]

Background

The airline was established in 1936 as Fecteau Air Services by Arthur Fecteau. He first had a Travel Air 2000 that he fixed with his older brother Joseph. After some time he got a Junkers W 34, a de Havilland Fox Moth and, later, a Noorduyn Norseman. Fecteau was offering air charters from Senneterre across the northern Abitibi region. Getting bigger, he bought new bush planes on the market like the Beaver and Otter. In 1967 he sold the company to Quebecair, with a dozen Beavers and Otters, flying from Senneterre, Chibougamau, Matagami, Rupert House and many other remote locations.
