As these are unprecedented times, we are doing our very best to reevaluate on how we can best serve our customers, support our business and support our employees and our community. The following plan allows us to best support everyone involved:
- We will be closed for operations for the duration of the 2020 season.
- We will be available to all of our customers by e-mail or phone for any need or concern that you have.
- To comply with all Federal, State, Local and Company policies to keep you and our employees safe, we will be keeping the door locked at all times. All communication as mentioned above should be directed by phone or e-mail.
- We have always made it our mission to treat all customer needs as urgent! During these trying times, it may take a little longer to process a request.
We will do our very best to keep you updated as soon as we are aware of any change.
We are all in this together. We are here for you and wish all of you and your families a healthy happy calmness through these very trying times!
Sincerely,
Your Team at Brooks Range Aviation

Experiencing what is truly THE LAST FRONTIER
Alaska is incredibly especially extremely beautiful and adventurous.
Getting into the Brooks Range requires some ingenuity and a float plane since the area is far from any airstrip. So why go to the considerable effort of trekking into the Brooks Range? Because you will find the finest mountain terrain in North America, a wonderland of glacier carved granite and pristine rivers and lakes, all within the remote wilderness of the Alaskan Arctic Region.

Testimonials
We know that choosing the right flying service is a major factor in the success of each trip. That is why we have chosen Brooks Range Aviation. They are honest, reliable, and extremely conscientious in maintaining their equipment. To be honest, we have never done comparative price shopping for flying service because that is the one aspect of our trips we are unwilling to compromise. We simply fly with the best.
Brooks Range Aviation is a solid, safe outfit. They'll always try to get you in and out on time, and if you've got a big party, their 'armada' of planes are the best thing going.
With the able assistance of Jay and Judy at Brooks Range Aviation we discovered the magnificent Brooks Range in 1999, got hooked, and have been back ever since. For many years we flew with bush pilots all over Alaska. Of all of them, Brooks Range Aviation is by far the safest, most reliable backcountry flying service we have ever flown with. Jay maintains his planes in top condition. He and all of the other BRA pilots are skilled, highly experienced, personable, and they really know the country.
My son and I booked a caribou hunt through Brooks Range Aviation in August 2011. Having never taken on such an adventure we were understandably a little jittery. Fortunately from the outset, Judy, Jay, and their crew of professionals put our minds at ease with answers to all of our questions and helpful advice. As our pictures show, our success was beyond our wildest dreams. We watched no fewer than 50 caribou per day over the six days we were out, and found our biggest dilemma was which ones to take. Thanks Brooks Range Aviation for a trip of a lifetime!
We just wanted to say Thank You again for the flight into the Gates to drop off Brent and Kyla and the flight back in to pick them up. I know that to you all, flying in Alaska is a normal part of life, but to us from Southern California, it is an awesome adventure.
Looking at pictures makes us want to go back, someday!!!
Attached is a picture of the Beaver when we landed on Chimney Lake. Our best to you all and Thank You one more time
Just a short note to let you know how much we appreciate you and Brooks Range Aviation. As you know the logistics of a hunt like this can make it or break it. The weather was good and everything went like clockwork. Pilots Dan and Scotty were very customer oriented as well as good pilots. We relied on your expertise for the right spot to hunt with kids and your selection was perfect.
