WHAT WE DO
Beryl Air is named after Beryl Markham, the first Aviatrix to cross the Atlantic from East to West, against the prevailing winds. In her spirit for Challenge and Adventure, we continue to fly small airplanes in undeveloped places.
We provide transport to beautiful and remote parts of Alaska. Whether flying fisherman, visiting bears, hauling supplies, or being a part of an amazing holiday, we love getting to know peoples’ stories about the Alaskan Bush and being a part of them.
Our office and docks are located on the shores of Beluga Lake at the Homer Seaplane Base.
We operate two Cessna 206 Floatplanes and each is held to the highest maintenance standards.
