Expedition Support Flights

Picking the right expedition support makes a difference! Fly Denali Inc has been suporting climbing teams, sky divers, trekkers, and explorers for years. Your trip into the Alaska Range begins right here.

Our powerful de Havilland Turbo Beaver ski planes will transport you to Kahiltna Base Camp in about 35 minutes, flying you right over all the ground you don't have to cover before your summit attempt. A team of 5 and gear can be easily accommodated in each plane.

Fly Denali Inc can even provide flights of time for route scouting and inspections.

Your safety is our primary concern! Drop-offs and pick-ups are always weather-dependent.

The Ruth Glacier is the ideal setting for your team to explore the magnificent Alaska Range right at the foot of looming Denali. Rock climbing, glacier trekking, training, and camping are at their best in the Don Sheldon Amphitheatre.

The southeast fork of the Kahiltna Glacier is the bustling headquarters for climbing teams heading to Denali, Foraker, Mt Hunter, and other peaks. The Base Camp is staffed during the climbing season, and is in radio and cell phone contact with all the air taxis in Talkeetna.
