Any AK Plane Transporters on here?

[TimberHunter]

I know it’s a stretch but my buddy and I would like to do a 2026 caribou or moose hunt. Would also consider 2027. Considering drop off and pick up hunts as well as drop off and float hunts

One of the more difficult parts seems to be choosing/finding a transportation service to drop you off. Anyone on here own a transportation company or can point me in the right direction?

I do unguided/outfitted moose. However I am booked until 2028. I will give you this information though…an air taxi can only charge you their normal hourly rate for flying. A transporter can charge a flat rate.
So a transporter may say 16k for a moose hunt. You don’t get a moose and end up with 4 hrs total flying for 16k. That’s 4000 an hour.
A air taxi drops you off and flys for 4 hours and charges you their hourly rate of 1500 per hour. It costs you 6000.

The difference comes in for a move the transporter may provide, and the flying to get a moose out. So it’s a crap shoot which way is better. Some transporters will fly you close. Increases profit margin. Air taxi will be more willing to fly longer. Increases profit margin.

The joys of the world running on money.
