Ravn Alaska adds two new Cessna Caravans to its Bethel aircraft fleet, operated by Ravn Connect/Hageland Aviation, increasing the total number of aircraft to 15 which support daily scheduled and chartering flights to and from Bethel and the surrounding communities. The two new aircraft include state of the art avionics, improved de-icing systems and along with all the Bethel aircraft will adhere to the Ravn Connect/Hageland Safety Operational Control Center procedures. This unique center, based in Palmer, Alaska communicates directly with each pilot prior to every flight. The center’s experienced controller and the pilot must agree that the flight is safe to operate from takeoff to landing.
