Alaska Central Express is an airline based at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport in Anchorage, Alaska, United States.[1] It is a cargo and small package express service.[2]
History
The airline was established as Yutana Airlines in 1987 and renamed to Alaska Central Express in 1994[3] when the certificate was bought from the Part 135 in Fairbanks, Alaska.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Much of the original pilots, staff, mechanics, and equipment including three Raytheon Beechcraft 1900Cs, came from MarkAir Express, a subsidiary of the bankrupt MarkAir. In 2007, with the purchase of a Beech 1900C (N115AX) combi passenger/cargo, ACE Air Cargo began charter passenger flights. Alaska Central Express, as of 2020, owns twenty airplanes with plans for future expansion.[4]
