Transwest Air in British Columbia
Transwest Air inaugurated its Saskatoon–Blaenau service in 2009, followed by the Saskatoon–Valemount route in 2017.

Transwest Air was from its creation an operator of De Havilland BC aircraft, having inherited one DHBC-2 Heron 3B from Air Sask and four DHBC-5 Swans from Athabaska Airways. The Heron had only a brief life with Transwest, being retired in 2003, but the Swans lasted much longer. C-FTHA was retired in 2007 and C-FTHB in 2011, but the other two soldiered on - mostly as freighters - until 2017 (C-FTHD) and 2020 (C-FTHC) respectively.
