Cielo Norte Aviation
A New Standard in Private Aviation
The Story of Cielo Norte Aviación
Cielo Norte Aviación is the Salvadoran subsidiary of the Canadian aviation group True North Airways (TNA), which provides private jet charter services to clients across North America and internationally.
With a team representing over 150 years of combined aviation experience, the group has built a reputation for operating in demanding environments while maintaining the highest professional standards.
In Canada, TNA operates in some of the country’s most remote northern regions, where aircraft land on ice runways during the winter and on remote lakes during the summer. Alongside its fixed-wing operations, the group also operates True North Helicorp (TNH), providing helicopter support, wildfire response, and emergency services across northern Canada.
Today, Cielo Norte Aviación brings this aviation legacy to El Salvador.
Cielo Norte Aviación brings this expertise to El Salvador, expanding access to private aviation services across the country and the region.
As part of the True North Airways group, our mission is simple: to connect people and destinations through dependable aviation operations and a commitment to the highest professional standards.
Our pilots and aviation professionals represent more than 150 years of combined aviation experience, supported by a proven operational record of over 15,000 flight hours and more than 3.4 million miles flown.
This experience allows us to deliver dependable aviation services with the professionalism, precision, and operational discipline expected from an international aviation group.
