This week, Mother Nature wreaked havoc on rural Alaska air travel:
Last fall I saw my neighbor, an Alaska Airlines pilot, loading his bag in the car. He had his uniform on and was getting ready for a trip.He didn’t answer right away. Captain Purvis is a thoughtful guy. He put his bag in the car, shut the door and walked closer, so I’d be sure to get the message.Those words stuck with me as Mother Nature was wreaking havoc on our transportation system this week.
“We managed to get one Caravan up to Utqiagvik. Two more are scheduled to come up … but we can’t move anything,” he said. “This week was a perfect storm of increased mail in Nome and Kotzebue, combined with bad weather and incredible holiday traffic,” he said. “Many teachers were headed Outside for the holidays and want to come back after Jan. 1.”
Bering Air serves 32 destinations from its hubs in Nome, Kotzebue and Unalakleet. That includes St. Lawrence Island, Little Diomede, Shishmaref, Kobuk and Kivalina.
