When you charter an aircraft, you are hiring the airplane and pilot to fly to a destination of your choice. It’s like having your own car and driver only you’re flying over one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world. Mountains, glaciers and the vast roadless forests and tundra are in view out every window. Flying across Alaska in a bush plane is one experience you will never forget.
