One of Air Inuit’s best-known pilots is set to get even more air miles now that her smiling face will grace a new postage stamp.

Melissa Haney, who made Captain on the Dash 8 at the Nunavik-owned airline last year, is featured on a new stamp designed by the East Canada Section of the Ninety-Nines, an international organization of women pilots.

This is the 10th stamp launched by the aviation organization, through Canada Post’s Postage program, officially unveiled Aug. 15 at Air Inuit’s Montreal office.

“We will follow Melissa’s aviation career with much interest,” the organization said in a release. “She is a wonderful role model for all young people aspiring to become pilots. We would like more people to know about this remarkable young woman,”
