The Pilatus PC-12 can transport 9 passengers
& gear or 2665 lbs of freight at 300 MPH to
locations throughout Alaska, Canada, and the lower 48
States. With a pressurized cabin and a service
ceiling of 30,000 feet this aircraft can truly get above
the weather and go long distances fast. Known throughout
the world as one of the most capable aircraft in its
class the PC-12 provides passengers with safe, reliable
long-range flights to and from destinations that are not
attainable by most Alaska based aircraft.

Reliable, efficient aircraft - When
loaded with nine passengers Caravans produce a per
passenger flight mile cost of only $.77 per mile, one of
the lowest flight mile costs in the industry.
Additionally, our Caravans operate safely in IFR and
night conditions by participating in the FAA's
"Capstone" program which uses a navigation system known
as Synthetic Flight Vision Technology. This modern
technology replaces conventional "steam gauge"
instruments which has been the industry standard since
instrument flying was first introduced in the early
1930's. Using this advanced technology developed by
Chelton Flight Systems we are able to take advantage of
special Capstone low level routes with lower instrument
approach minimums that which are unavailable to non
Capstone participating operators. Island Air Express is
one of only three commercial operations in Alaska
authorized to use the Capstone Southeast IFR system.

Our Cessna 850 Caravan Amphibian can transport
9 passengers & gear or 2000 lbs of freight at 200
MPH to locations throughout Alaska from land or water,
day or night. We are FAA certified to fly the Caravan
IFR (in and above clouds) which provides passengers with
safe, reliable flights to and from destinations that are
normally inaccessible during times of adverse weather
conditions. If you're looking for one of the most
versatile aircraft available in Alaska, this is
it.

The Cessna 206 Amphib can transport 3
passengers & gear or 600 lbs of freight at 128 MPH
to locations throughout Alaska. As with all of our
IFR aircraft the 206 also has the Chelton "Synthetic
Flight Vision" system onboard providing exceptional
safety, situational awareness, and traffic alerts during
flight. This aircraft is a perfect option when your air
travel needs require something a bit smaller and shorter
range than a PC-12 or Caravan.

Flight Display |
It almost defies belief, but it's true. Our Cessna
aircraft now have flight decks more advanced than the
latest state-of-the-art airliner's. The FAA-certified
FlightLogic Synthetic Vision EFIS employs breakthrough
technology to deliver never-before-possible situational
awareness and ground-breaking automated flight
management capabilities. The FlightLogic EFIS combines
advanced “Heads Up Display” symbology with real-time
forward-looking 3-D terrain to create a primary flight
display with capabilities unmatched by any other product
in the world. The result is tremendously enhanced
awareness, unprecedented safety, and dramatically
reduced pilot workload. Additionally, the Flight Logic
System will overlay real time traffic & weather on
both screens and is able to receive text forecasts,
pilot reports, and current weather conditions for any
aviation reporting location.
3D Synthetic Vision with Highway-In-The-Sky
- Enables our pilots to always "see" the terrain and
obstacles ahead of and around our aircraft for
remarkable situational awareness and optimum command,
control, and safety
- Eliminates the uncertainty of darkness and weather
to make every flight as effortless as flying in ideal
weather.
- Creates a virtual 3-D "tunnel" for all enroute and
instrument procedures—we simply fly our aircraft
through the boxes, which makes executing flight plans
and instrument approaches almost effortless
- Easy push-button flight planning to any destination
