ABOUT US
Dirk and Danielle welcome you to Coyote Air, your air logistics and flying service to Alaska's remote arctic region. Coyote Air is a family owned and operated, fully insured FAA part 135 Air Taxi, based in Coldfoot, Alaska, on the south side of the Brooks range mountains.
After three generations in aviation on both sides of our family, you could say that flying is truly in our blood. We operate bush-proven Dehavilland Beavers that have been specially modified to better handle Alaska's demanding flying conditions.
This is our home and we take great pride in introducing our guests to Alaska's pristine wilderness in a sensitive and respectful manner, which leaves it for all to enjoy in the generations to come.
