The management puts a lot of emphasis on training and certification. They are capable of handling large parachutist meets. Lots of expertise available.

It was the DZ for 2012 Misson 100. It been successful because of the implication of every body on the dropzone, from the manifest to the load organizers ! Specialy Martin Lemay, who was leading the event as a master. The facilities on the DZ, and the location, were perfect for it. The owners where friendly and very into it, being close to the participants.

The DZ has change from the past when the day was over after the last tandem... Last year, there was load organizing, with pros, even when it was not a preparation for Mission 100. I guess they will continue that way !

This year, I spent a few weekends at Nouvelair. That's where I did my first two jumps of the season, I didn't know the DZ, the staff there and they welcomed me as if I was part of regular :). The staff is friendly, accessible and generous with their knowledge. A nice place to pack INSIDE with air-conditioned! If you want to do quality jump with coaching it's the place to be.

The host dropzone of the successful 102-way Canada Record big way skydive!

They recently had an amazing Mission 100 big way event, the Canada Record big way Skydive event, (happened to be Friday 13th, July 13, 2012). I participated in the big way attempts, and the dropzone vibe has changed significantly. This 102-way successful record blew past the old 59-way record.

In the past, they seems to have had a somewhat high priority on tandems, but it seems to have changed, especially with the recent rise of Skyventure Montreal (first Skyventure in Canada, very closely affilated with the Lemays -- Canada's 4-way Team Evolution from Nouvel-Air) and the growing pool of experienced skydivers. I'd give them a try, it's a lot of fun during a good boogie event or big way camp that they do more often now. They have now become the big way central of Canada.

At NouvelAir you will find people with tones of experience. Many of the coachs have more then 15 000 jumps and it is also the DZ of Evolution team. All of the coachs are always willing to share their experience and jump with you. Staff is available to organize loads and activities. They invested in the renovation of the facilities so it is comfortable, spacious and clean. They have so many activities planned, I'll need to get a second job to keep up! ;-)

Went there for the 2012 20-way, 40-way weekends, and the (Sucessful) Mission 100 Event. Each time left me driving away with a smile on my face and fun & good quality skydives in my log book.

These people know how to organize and run events, even more importantly they know how to coach and teach, from first jumps, to competitive 4-way, to Big Ways. It's also nice and close to the Montreal Wind Tunnel.

This really is a fun place to jump and learn. I would and DO reccomend them to my friends and Family.

I have been to quite a few well established DZs throughout North America and Europe, both large and small, that have provided a terrific skydiving experiance, but Nouvel Air has now set a new BENCHMARK. The owners and staff ALL put a lot into making this DZ the best it can be, and are using a 'continuous improvement' philosophy to make it better. The surrounding Quebec towns and countryside are also idylic, for those who like to leave the DZ. Well done!

A fantastic DZ just a short drive away from Montreal. A great set-up with everything you need on-site. Great coaches with real friendly staff give this dz a unique vibe that's very welcoming. Will definitely be going back!

I have been jumping for almost 20 years. I started at a small Cessna Drop Zone, and have traveled all over North America to many US and Canadian Drop Zone, and I currently work weekends at a Turbine Drop Zone here in Canada.  While I have never been interested in traveling to Quebec to jump during my entire skydiving life, since Mission 100 - the Canadian large formation record jump was to be hosted at Nouvel Air – I bought tickets to Montreal and decided to attend. 

I did not really know what to expect from this Drop Zone or the people that ran it.  I can’t begin to emphasis how professionally run the drop zone is, the people are genuinely some of the friendliest and most down to earth people I’ve meet through-out my skydive career.

Yes, I was there to attend a very special event, but the DZ continued normal operations while the record attempts were ongoing, and from what I observed the customers and staff – many of whom were also on the record attempts – were all having a great time. 

I would sincerely recommend this DZ to anyone who wishes to visit a World Class Skydiving facility in operation.  The facilities, planes and people were all a class act – one that would be difficult to duplicate.

They don't call it Canada's skydiving university for nothing


Parachutisme Nouvel Air Rated 5 by: lacurieuse on 2012-07-17

Pros: Twin Otter, air-conditioned packing area, very clean showers on site, large landing area with plenty of outs
Cons: No huge bonfires/crazy parties at night... unless there's a special event going on!

I visited this dropzone for the first time this year, and have so far this season spent three consecutive weekends + one long weekend + a little over a week there (for a special event).

Everyone made me feel welcome and my husband and I didn't have any trouble finding (very skilled!) people to jump with. In fact, the dropzone owner and his sons frequently walked around the dropzone asking everyone if they wanted to go up for another load and, if so, if they had someone to jump with. They frequently organized jumps for everyone, even taking up people with lower jump numbers.

The owner made sure that our 8-way group could always get on a load, even if they had hundreds of tandems to do that day. He even once sent up the plane half-empty just for us!

The staff was eager to help us plan our 4-way and 8-way jumps, whether it be exit position or a difficult block. And when the staff members include Canada's champion team (Evolution), you know you're getting good advice! I really learned a lot from them. You can tell their students are getting amazing training, too.

I was really surprised and pleased by the welcome we got and I hope to go back to Nouvel Air soon! Merci à tout le monde pour le bel accueil!

Kim
