With Ravn Out, Grant Aviation Steps Up in Kenai

Recognizing a need in the community, Grant Aviation announced fifty additional flights each week between Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula.

Flights Follow Ravn’s Exit

Beginning Saturday, October 21, Grant is offering up to fifty additional flights per week between Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and the Kenai Municipal Airport. The additional flights equate to a nearly 30 percent increase in service over current levels.

The news came a week after Ravn Alaska, which employed seventeen people at the Kenai Municipal Airport, announced it would cease to operate at the airport after October 20, citing a nationwide pilot shortage as the primary reason for the decision. 

“This is a route many of our customers count on, so we are grateful to be able to provide more service to the communities of the Kenai Peninsula when it is needed most,” says Dan Knesek, Vice President of Commercial for Grant Aviation. “I also want to thank the incredible, hard-working professionals at Grant, who, along with our loyal customers, allow us to make this positive change.”
