Company staff say they're ending service to the Southeast Alaska communities by late October due to low ridership, as well as limited cargo.
Alaska Seaplanes’ C-208 Grand Caravan is a nine passenger plane that was used on routes between Petersburg and Juneau.
Alaska Seaplanes began serving Petersburg in April of 2021 and Wrangell in May of 2022. Ramseth says that when Seaplanes starts serving a community, they have a three-year plan to allow time to build up a presence in the town. This is only the second time Seaplanes has pulled out of a community before that three-year period is up.
But low ridership isn’t the only factor. Alaska Seaplanes also rely on carrying cargo. That brings in more business in smaller communities like Tenakee Springs and Klawock because they are not serviced by Alaska Airlines. Ramseth says that isn’t true for Wrangell and Petersburg.
