As the founder and operator of Fly AV8 Inc., a new charter aviation

company in Northern and central BC & AB, Keith Tuplin brings a

wealth of experience and expertise to the aviation industry. Born

and raised in Western Canada, Keith's passion for flying was

ignited during his early training in Regina. Since then, he has left

an indelible mark on the industry through his diverse career

trajectory.

That journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Early on,

he honed his skills as an instructor, sharing his love for aviation

with aspiring pilots. This foundation allowed him to embark on

an adventurous path, where he explored the rugged terrains of northern Manitoba as a bush pilot on floats, then on to Yellowknife on skis. His proficiency in navigating challenging environments established him as an exceptional pilot with a keen eye for detail.

As his career progressed, Keith broadened his horizons by venturing into Arctic tours. His unwavering commitment to safety and precision plus his people skills opened the door to the Chief Pilot position for a small, reputable charter company on the prairies. The next step was Twin Otter Captain in Northern Ontario, followed by the prestigious position of Captain, first on a Boeing 727, then an Airbus A-320.

In recognition of his aircraft knowledge and teaching skills, Keith was appointed as a simulator instructor first at Worldways, then SkyService and Air Canada, where he invested his knowledge and expertise in the careers of dozens of pilots. His dedication to cultivating excellence within the aviation industry is commendable and showcases his commitment to advancing the field.

Now retired from the airlines, Keith has embarked on a new chapter of his life by founding a charter aviation company to serve the needs of Central & Northern BC and AB.
