Experience that is genuinely local
More than a flight from A to B
Owner-pilot Kevin Mulligan has flown floatplanes commercially in Southeast Alaska since 1996 and has lived in the region for more than 50 years. His connection with Port Alexander began as a teenager, when he and his brother claimed a homestead there. He later raised his family in the community. Baranautica Air Service was established in 2018, building on decades of the same kind of flying, wilderness access and local transportation work.
