Bering Air

Bering Air is an FAA certified air carrier based in Nome, Alaska, with hubs in Kotzebue and Unalakleet. It serves Western Alaska and beyond and has operated since 1979. The company provides all of its air transport options for Alaska, from scheduled service to charters and helicopter support.

Scheduled passenger and cargo flights run seven days a week out of each hub to 32 communities along the northwest coast of Alaska. The company's wide range of aircraft is also available for charter anywhere in Alaska. Passengers and freight can be booked through the reservations team in Nome, Unalakleet or Kotzebue.

The helicopter department is certified as an FAA part 133 operator. It provides external load services using slings and baskets, for bulky loads and fuel to remote locations. The company says it can organise a whole operation, from storing equipment at its hubs to a fixed wing charter and helicopter transport into the field.

The company is an OAS and AMD approved carrier. It provides flight services to the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management and other federal entities. Its helicopter and logistics work supports the transport needs of Alaska's remote communities and businesses.

Bering Air has received numerous safety awards. It takes part in the Medallion Foundation Safety Program and the Alaska Air Carriers Association. Its stated pledge is to operate a well maintained fleet with the best professionals in the industry, and to offer the safest and most reliable transport in its region.

Ground services include aviation fuel, aviation oils, hangar space and emergency maintenance at the Nome and Kotzebue airports. The company publishes its fuel prices and hangar rates on its website, and it runs a Gold Points rewards programme for frequent travellers.
