Headquarters

Tok, United States

40-Mile Air is a small regional airline based in Tok, Alaska, providing essential air service to remote communities in interior and western Alaska. The carrier operates scheduled and charter flights to villages that are largely inaccessible by road, making it a critical lifeline for residents in some of the most isolated parts of the United States. The airline serves destinations across interior Alaska, including communities along the Yukon River and surrounding regions. 40-Mile Air operates under FAA Part 135 regulations and plays an important role in cargo and passenger transport where no practical ground transportation alternatives exist. Named after the historic 40-Mile country of the Alaska-Yukon border region, the airline reflects the rugged frontier spirit of its operating environment. It remains one of several small carriers that keep rural Alaskan communities connected to the broader transportation network.
