Hageland Aviation Services was a regional FAR Part 135 airline based in Anchorage, Alaska, United States.[2] It operated as the Ravn Connect component of Ravn Alaska, serving many destinations throughout Alaska.[3]

History

[edit]

The airline was established in 1981 in Mountain Village, Alaska.

Frontier Alaska and Hageland combined in 2008 to form the parent company HoTH and rebrand their new services as "Frontier Alaska." The following year, with the acquisition of Era, Frontier Alaska was rebranded as Era Alaska.[4] Operations ceased with the collapse and bankruptcy of Ravn Alaska in 2020.
