Inter-Canadien (IATA: ND, ICAO: ICN) was a Canadian airline headquartered in Dorval, Quebec.
Inter-Canadien traces its roots back to Quebecair, which was founded in 1949. Quebecair grew to become a second tier regional airline, operating British Aircraft Corporation BAC One-Eleven, Boeing 727-100, Boeing 737-200 and Fokker F28 Fellowship jets as well as Convair 580, Fairchild F-27 and Hawker Siddeley HS 748 turboprops and other prop aircraft on routes throughout the province of Quebec, New Brunswick and elsewhere in eastern Canada. In 1986 Quebecair was purchased by PWA Corporation (owner of Pacific Western Airlines), the parent of Canadian Airlines International, and merged with the regional subsidiary of Nordair, another Montreal-based airline that had also been acquired by PWA Corporation.
In the late 1980s Inter-Canadien rolled over its fleet, becoming the North American launch customer for the Fokker 100 twin jet and the first Canadian operator of the ATR 42 turboprop. At the same time, Canadian Airlines International sold control of Inter-Canadien to local businessman Michel Leblanc, but the airline continued to operate as a code-share partner of Canadian.
