Frontier Alaska


Frontier Alaska was the name under which HoTH, Inc., marketed the services of its multiple airline holdings: Frontier Flying Service, Hageland Aviation Services, and Era Aviation. It is now part of the Ravn group of companies of Ravn Alaska / Ravn Connect / Ravn Connect - Charters. These HoTH airlines group of companies are featured in the television show Flying Wild Alaska.

History

The name Frontier Alaska began to be used following the June 2008 merger of Frontier Flying Service with Hageland Aviation Services, with the name applied to the operations of both airlines.
On July 8, 2008 Seattle based Alaska Airlines announced Frontier Alaska as a new code share partner beginning in the fall of 2008.
On February 27, 2009 Frontier Alaska, acquired rival Era Aviation of Anchorage, Alaska.
Era Aviation will be d/b/a ERA Alaska once it operations are rationalized into the Frontier Alaska / Era Alaska fleets and their representative FAA and DOT operating certificates.
In 2014 with the merger, integration, and asset rationalization mostly complete, Frontier Alaska was rebranded as Ravn Alaska and Ravn Connect.
Ravn Alaska the FAA part 121 operations of the Ravn business, predominantly utilizes the former assets of Era Aviation; while Ravn Connect, the FAA Part 135 of the Ravn business, predominately utilizes the assets of the former Hageland Aviation. Frontier Flying Services and Arctic Circle Air assets have thus been overtaken by these two regulatory mandated business sectors
HoTH Inc. remains the parent holding company of all assets of the business to this day.
