"Ravn Alaska"

Alaska’s biggest regional airline has laid off 130 of its 400-plus employees.  

Starting early next year, Northern Pacific will offer flights from cities in Japan and Korea to Anchorage, and then to Lower 48 destinations.

It costs more Alaska Air miles to fly from Anchorage to Unalaska than it does to fly to Paris.

The monthly food deliveries from the Food Bank of Alaska, with freight costs covered by Ravn Alaska, are part of an effort to combat food insecurity in the region.

The parent company of the state’s biggest rural airline has created a cryptocurrency to reward fliers with a digital token that, according to plans, could soon be traded on exchanges like Bitcoin is today.

The new carrier won’t be flying to and from Unalaska until next March.

After prolonged negotiations, executives from both companies reached the agreement to bring a mileage sharing program to Unalaska.

Reborn airline Ravn Alaska has hired several people to study daily, year-round trans-Pacific service that its chief executive said could launch as soon as next summer.

The operation would be called Northern Pacific Airways and fly from the underused North Terminal at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, said Ravn Alaska’s chief executive Rob McKinney.

The manufacturer says their planes will need half the length of a typical runway for taking off, which could make them optimal for more rugged runways.
