Golden Eagle Outfitters Inc

Golden Eagle Outfitters is a family-run Alaskan air-taxi and flightseeing business owned by the Cummings family. It operates from Delta Junction on the Richardson Highway and from Kotzebue in northwest Alaska. A tourism directory reports that the business started in the 1990s around fishing trips and became a certified air-taxi operation in 2000.

Its flying is bush-style: drop-off and pickup flights into remote country for fishing, hiking, rafting, birding and backcountry skiing, plus custom flightseeing tours. The company can arrange guides and gear, and rents rafts. The Kotzebue base, added around 2009-2010, is used for trips toward the northern national parks.

The fleet listed for the company is small, utility-type aircraft: a Piper Cub for a single passenger, a Cessna 206 for up to five and a DHC-3T Turbine Otter for up to ten. Trips are priced per aircraft hour on request.

This is a remote-access air taxi rather than a business jet operator. It suits travellers who need to reach roadless parts of interior and northwest Alaska, not those looking for jet charter between cities.
