RavnAir Group has been approved by Honorable Brendan L. Shannon in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to move forward with its proposed bidding process for the airline to sell all, substantially all, or a substantial part of its assets.

“This Court decision helps clear the path for Ravn to find new ownership that will allow us to resume operations later this summer,” says Dave Pflieger, Ravn’s president & CEO. “This is great news for our creditors, our employees who have been temporarily laid off, our customers, our important fishing industry, and the 115 rural and urban communities we serve throughout the state who are currently suffering from a lack of service since we parked our seventy-two aircraft.”

“The fishing industry, one of Alaska’s biggest sources of revenue and employment, has found it extremely challenging to work around Ravn’s grounding,” said Tom Enlow, president of UniSea, Inc. “Ravn has been a great partner of the fishing industry for many years in Alaska, and we are very hopeful for their return.”

New Oil on the North Slope
August 2026
In mid-May it was 19°F and windy at the Aurora Hotel in Deadhorse. As I stood in the parking lot surveying the surroundings, I chatted with a gentleman from Texas who works for Nabors Alaska Drilling and was in town as part of a crew tasked with getting a previously inactive drill rig up and running. He said that, according to his supervisor, spring is the windy season on the North Slope. The gusts were bracing, numbing the fingers holding my camera, but most of my attention was focused on what I could capture through the lens: work trucks, shipping containers, buildings obscured by snow whipped up by the wind.
