Alaska Seaplanes
Alaska Seaplanes is the premier commuter airline based in Juneau, Alaska. They operate a fleet of 14 aircraft. Their newest addition to the fleet is a Pilatus PC-12 – a fully pressurized, nine- passenger aircraft that flies above the weather cruising at speeds of up to 300mph and at altitudes of up to 29K feet. Alaska Seaplanes also operates 5 Cessna Caravans – one of the most capable aircraft in Southeast Alaska. Four of these aircraft are Supervan 900’s powered by a Honeywell (Garrett) 900 HP engine. They also operate a Piper Navajo Chieftain and two C-207’s. Five of these aircraft are regularly flown on an IFR platform to improve reliability in SE Alaska’s challenging weather conditions. In addition to the Caravan on floats, Alaska Seaplanes owns and operates three deHavilland Beavers and two C-206’s to give them the versatility to get you where you need to go.

Youth are lured to try e-cigarettes due to the variety of
kid-friendly flavorings.
They stay hooked due to nicotine, a highly addictive chemical found in most e-cigs. Kids who use e-cigs are 6 times more likely to switch to smoking traditional cigarettes.
Keep kids nicotine free. Protect them from addiction.
“I still have a life. And it’s a better one than I had.” “At JAMHI, they always believe in you, they always trust you, their well never runs dry.” – Yvonne, Trust beneficiary, Juneau
THE TRUST HELPS LOCAL PROGRAMS HELP LOCAL PEOPLE. Yvonne can’t remember the first time she tried to commit suicide. But she knows she’s struggled with mental health issues for most of her life. The depression can be debilitating, leading to feelings ranging from fear to despondency to anger. She’ll check out from every day life, or worse, try to hurt herself. Fortunately, Yvonne was able to find help in Juneau at JAMHI Health & Wellness. “JAMHI Health & Wellness teaches you how to cope. They provide the daily guidance to keep going,” says Yvonne. “From paying bills to cooking, nutrition and pottery classes. Now they’re helping me with a micro-grant to start my own cleaning business. They got me built back up.” JAMHI Health & Wellness is the community behavioral health center for Juneau, Gustavus, Elfin Cove and Tenakee Springs. They provide support to adults with severe, chronic mental illness, family support, referrals, education, and support efforts to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness.

Bob
Alaska Seaplanes is pleased to introduce to you one of our yearround pilots, Bob Lamberti! Bob likes to aim high; he always wanted to be an electrical engineer but ended up becoming a chemical engineer instead. He grew up in Chicago, Illinois and attended Purdue University. Once he graduated, he moved to Philadelphia. Bob started flying to enhance his chances to become an FBI agent, but never followed that course in life due to the fact that he developed an “unquenchable passion” for aviation. Then he made the decision to work for Alaska Seaplanes because of the great reputation the company has throughout the U.S. and because there is nothing like being on the water! We’re proud to have you aboard the team Bob!
