NWT RCMP unveil upgraded $21.5M jet aircraft Alice Twa Friday October 9, 2026 at 6:14pm MT NWT RCMP Chief Superintendent Dyson Smith, left, and special constable Chris Williams.
Alice Twa/Cabin Radio Share NWT police are receiving one of four Pilatus PC-24 twin-engine jet aircraft as RCMP nationwide begin to replace their fleet.
RCMP in the territory previously used a single engine PC-12 aircraft.
Smith said most planes being replaced will be an upgraded PC-12 model, while the NWT was prioritized for a PC-24 jet because a plane it leased from Ottawa crashed in Whitehorse in 2023 and it had been using a different leased plane since.
“Almost all communities will see an improved service.” An RCMP news release stated the PC-24, manufactured by Pilatus, cost approximately $21.5 million, which Smith said was “absolutely” worth it.
