Alaska Central Express

Alaska Central Express (ACE Air) was a regional airline based in Anchorage, Alaska, operating scheduled and charter passenger and cargo services throughout the state of Alaska. The carrier served numerous remote communities that rely heavily on air transport as their primary means of access to goods and services. Operating under the IATA code KO and ICAO code AER with the callsign ACE AIR, the airline filled a vital role in Alaska's bush aviation sector, connecting smaller villages and towns to larger hub cities. Like many Alaskan regional carriers, it operated in challenging weather and terrain conditions. Alaska Central Express ceased operations, and information about its current status suggests it is no longer active. The airline was representative of the many small regional operators that have historically served Alaska's vast and sparsely populated interior and coastal regions.
