Helicopter and airplane charter and remote logistics from Cordova, Alaska
Ridgeline Aviation is a small charter operator based at Mile 13 of the Copper River Highway in Cordova, Alaska, near Merle K. (Mudhole) Smith Airport. It describes its work as Alaska aircraft charter and remote logistics.
The company states that it holds an FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate and a Part 133 external load certificate, both with hazardous materials authorisation, and that it is carded by the US Department of the Interior and the US Forest Service, which allows it to fly government contract work.
A 2026 job listing described the operation as two turbine helicopters and one single-engine Cessna. Its work spans charter flights out of Cordova, remote logistics and external load work, and federal records show a 2023 helicopter flight services contract award in Alaska.
Ridgeline has also offered sightseeing: the Forest Service reviewed its proposal for guided helicopter tours with glacier landings in the Cordova Ranger District, and a cruise line has sold a combined airplane and helicopter glacier excursion with it.
This is a regional utility and charter operator rather than a business jet provider; it suits travellers needing access to remote parts of the Copper River and Prince William Sound area.
