Merrill Field (PAMR) serves small aircraft bush operations.
How much does a private jet charter from Anchorage cost?

Feathers Aviation provides itemized, all-inclusive quotes with no hidden fees.
How far in advance should I book a private charter from Anchorage?
For the widest aircraft selection, booking 48–72 hours ahead is ideal. Last-minute charters within 24 hours are often possible, though options may be limited. For large groups, holiday travel, or special events, booking one to two weeks in advance ensures optimal availability at the best price point.
Are the operators Feathers Aviation uses certified?
Every operator in the Feathers Aviation network holds current ARGUS or Wyvern safety ratings — ARGUS Platinum, ARGUS Gold, and Wyvern Wingman certifications verify rigorous crew training, maintenance, and operational oversight standards. We never work with uncertified operators.
Is private charter the primary way to access remote Alaska fishing camps and lodges?
Yes. Alaska’s most remote sport fishing and hunting lodges — Bristol Bay, the Alaska Peninsula, Kodiak Island — are inaccessible by road. Float planes, turboprops, and bush-certified aircraft are the only practical access, and Feathers Aviation works with Alaska-specific operators experienced in remote operations.
Can I fly from Anchorage to North Slope oil facilities at Prudhoe Bay by private jet?
Yes. Deadhorse Airport (SCC) at Prudhoe Bay is a 90-minute turboprop or light jet flight from Anchorage. Oil companies including BP, ConocoPhillips, and their contractors regularly charter aircraft for North Slope personnel and equipment transport. Feathers Aviation has experience arranging these Arctic-environment missions.
