At Calgary International Airport, Air North uses WingTips Airport Services for passenger services, and Servisair for ramp services. WingTips provides agents for check-in, departures, and arrivals.

Servisair represents many airlines as well which schedules sometimes coincide with Air North forcing the company to run short staffed.
