Fleet
Bering Air (IATA: 8E, ICAO: BRG) is a regional carrier established on October 3, 1979, and headquartered in Nome, Alaska. The airline operates 39 aircraft across 32 destinations in western Alaska, specializing in regional connectivity to remote communities where larger carriers do not operate.
The airline maintains three main hubs: Nome Airport, Ralph Wien Memorial Airport, and Unalakleet Airport. This network structure enables Bering Air to serve the unique aviation needs of western Alaska's scattered population centers and provides essential air transport links where ground infrastructure is limited or absent.
Bering Air's fleet comprises small regional aircraft including Cessna models (208, 207, Grand Caravan), Beechcraft types (1900, King Air), the CASA C-212 Aviocar, Piper PA-31 Navajo, and Robinson R-44 helicopters. This diverse mix of single- and twin-engine aircraft is optimized for unprepared airstrips, varying passenger volumes, and Alaska's demanding operating conditions. The airline also operates Gold Points, a frequent-flyer loyalty program.
