Our Planes
The Douglas DC-3
Our DC-3 fleet combines payload capacity, short-field performance, and rugged reliability. With the ability to haul 7,500 lbs and take off in just 3,000 feet, these aircraft are purpose-built for Alaska’s remote operations. Turbine or classic, each is equipped with oversized cargo doors and tundra tires to move freight where others can’t.
