Superior Airways began its operation in Sioux Lookout, Ontario with three employees, but due to market saturation relocated one of its aircraft to Red Lake, Ontario. Soon afterward both aircraft were located in Red Lake. The company continues to grow with the recent addition of a 5-passenger Cessna 206 Stationair, another Navajo, and the expected arrival of a factory new Quest Kodiak.[5] Superior Airways was the first in Canada to operate the Quest Kodiak; at the time a brand new aircraft designed for off strip operations.[6]
