Airlines/Air Couriers

PenAir, founded in 1955 by Orin Seybert in Pilot Point, Alaska, is one of the oldest family-owned airlines in the U.S. We began as an air taxi service, at times making stops to pick up as few as just one passenger. Flying is sometimes the only option for many in rural Alaska, and PenAir is always there. Our operations have included everything from Orin’s original 1946 two-seat Taylorcraft, to the Grumman Goose added to the fleet in 1977, to PenAir’s first turbine aircraft: a Cessna Conquest. Throughout our first 50 years, we continued to diversify our fleet with the Fairchild “Metroliner” purchased in 1987, and our first Saab 340 added in 1997. Today, we are one of the largest operators of Saab 340 aircraft in the U.S. As a 121 operation, we provide scheduled passenger service throughout Alaska, the northeast U.S. out of Boston, and the West Coast out of Portland, Oregon. We also operate two Saab 340 all cargo aircraft throughout Alaska. We are proud to be an Alaska Airlines codeshare and Mileage Plan partner. PenAir has a strong foundation in Safety, and follows many of the Medallion Foundation’s guidelines, which we helped set-up during the Foundation’s infancy. Our internal Safety branding, “Distinction through Safety,” empowers our employees to exercise Safety both in the workplace and in their personal lives. PenAir is the FIRST airline in the country that went from SMS Active Participant to SMS Active Conformance under the new FAA Safety Management System Voluntary Program. With this, PenAir has joined an elite group of airlines and is one of only 10 other airlines in the U.S. (most all are major carriers) to have achieved this distinction. Headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, we currently employ over 500 employees system-wide. We are an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate in hiring or employment on the basis of age, sex, race, color, religion, national origin, veteran status, disability, or sexual orientation.
