A Twin Otter aircraft carrying eight passengers and two crew members has gone down about 300 kilometres northeast of Yellowknife.
The chartered flight went down at 12:45 MT and crew are reporting only minor injuries, according to Chris Reynolds of Air Tindi, a small N.W.T.-based airline.
Military search and rescue has been dispatched to the site where passengers and crew have taken shelter, Reynolds said.
"We were taken by surprise. There was no warning that it was going to happen. So we're just not sure what happened," Reynolds said, adding he's currently focused on getting everyone out safely.
Reynolds said those involved know exactly where the passengers and crew are sheltered, thanks to satellite tracking and another plane that was able to fly over the area and spot them.
"The weather is quite poor and blowing snow. Winds are very strong up there, so it's hampering getting to the aircraft, but we're working on that right now," he said.
