Talkeetna Air Taxi, established in 1947 as Talkeetna Air Service,[2] is a Talkeetna, Alaska-based flight company.[1] It operates wheel-ski equipped bush planes, and is one of less than a half-dozen air services with a permit to land in Denali National Park. Historically, business included supply runs to remote homesteads and prospecting claims—though in the past decade traffic has been primarily tourist and climber related.
