Air Fecteau was an airline that operated primarily in Quebec, Canada.[2]
The airline was established in 1936 as A. Fecteau Transport Aerien 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 DHC Beaver and DHC Otter. In 1973 it was renamed simply Air Fecteau and in 1983 was acquired by La Sarre Air Services to form Propair.[1]
