RAVN has shut down
|
Not surprising since at least one village (Unalakleet) is not allowing any inbound or outbound passenger service until May 1.
|
Who? The aviation arm of Academi formerly known as Xe formerly known as Blackwater?
|
Probably a good attempt to reorganize and get rid of debt.
|
I’m interested to see how this all pans out. They paid $13 million for PenAir recently. There’s going to be a lot of communities hurting for freight if Grant, Ryan, etc. can’t pick up the slack.

I’m gonna put my money on ACE stepping up and doing freight and EAS to more of the state. Just a guess

I've heard a rumor that shutting down was a political ploy to strong arm the government into giving them money after they realized they had shot themselves in the foot and wouldn't be getting any of the CARES aact money because they had laid off most of the company.
I'm really glad to see the other operators stepping up. Even Alaska Air has kinda been like screw you Ravn. |

Another failed airline in Pflieger's wake.

In reference to Ace, from an "acquaintance"
The reason I ask... My uncle's son (my cousin) flies cargo for that airline in AK. There are 20 captains at the company and they are being pressured by the boss to start hauling passengers. They have refused. His company refuses to pay anybody who gets sick. Ravn Air, the small intra-state airline, closed down completely. That leaves lots of small citys without mail and pax service. My uncle saw that notice about how they're cleaning the planes and sent it to his son. The son said it is news to him - none of that is happening. You can imagine hauling passengers in rural AK now. If someone gets sick, they want to get closer to a hospital. At least that's what I'd want to do. https://www.alaskapublic.org/2020/04...off-all-staff/ |
This sucks, I know a pilot there who left my airline for a Captain job at Ravn, was so happy to be back in AK and now this. Hope a better operator fills the void and hires the employees.

It will be interesting to see Alaska go back to the smaller operators. I hear some of the tour operators are thinking about getting into the scheduled passenger business.

Over 30 bidders but only 5 want the whole thing.
