Set in the Canadian North, “Arctic Air” follows an extended, unconventional family through the ups and downs of owning an airline. Mel handles the pilots and Bobby keeps the business going, while the pilots themselves take on an interesting mix of missions in their little bush planes and huge World War II prop planes — from sightseeing tours to rescue missions. The group must battle the extremes of the north, competing airlines, and each other as they struggle to succeed in the town of Yellowknife.

Bobby and Krista head south to Calgary on business, even though Mel knows it’s essentially a romantic getaway on the company dime. A massive arctic storm is heading straight for Yellowknife and Bobby isn’t interested in sticking around long enough for the temperature to drop. But when Krista learns about Bobby and Petra’s kiss, the weekend turns sour. To make it worse, Blake and Alex hitch a ride for a getaway of their own. Tensions rise when Blake’s sister arrives and seems to have ulterior motives, but things really go off the tracks when Bobby and Krista’s business contact turns out to be none other than Ronnie Dearman. Meanwhile, Astrid suffers through a six-hour flight alone with Cece. They have nothing in common and nothing to talk about. But the dropping temperature creates engine troubles and Astrid has to make a rough weather landing in the middle of nowhere. Being stranded with Cece is the last thing Astrid wants, but as they work together to get their plane back in the air, an odd-couple friendship develops between them.
