Northern Pacific Airways

Northern Pacific Airways is an upcoming low-cost airline based in Anchorage, Alaska, United States that plans to commence operations in 2022. The airline is a subsidiary of FLOAT Alaska, which also owns Ravn Alaska.[2] The airline plans to operate transpacific flights between North America and Asia, with a stopover at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. The airline's business model has been compared to that of Icelandair.[3] Northern Pacific will allow passengers to either quickly connect to their next flight, or to have a longer multi-day stopover at Anchorage to allow for sightseeing of Alaska.[4][5]
