[Anchorage, Alaska, July 5, 2023] — Aleutian Airways is excited to announce they have been named the Denali winner in the Best of Alaska Business awards’, Best Startup category. The Best of Alaska Business awards are organized and published by Alaska Business Magazine.
“We are humbled and immensely grateful to the communities we serve for choosing to honor us as one of the state’s best new businesses,” said Wayne Heller, CEO of Aleutian Airways. “In a remarkably short span of time, we have expanded our reach to serve five cities, and we are committed to further growth to support more communities and fellow Alaskans. None of this would be possible without our exceptional team, whose dedication to serving our guests and going above and beyond has truly set us apart. We thank our team members for their remarkable efforts and for helping us shine in a challenging and demanding environment.”
Aleutian Airways first launched service in November 2022, returning the Saab 2000 aircraft to the Aleutian Islands for the fastest nonstop service to Dutch Harbor. Since then, the airline has expanded to provide regularly scheduled flights to Sand Point and Cold Bay, with seasonal service through September 18, to King Salmon, Alaska. A full flight schedule can be found at flyaleutian.com.
