To retain any chance of operating this summer, RAVN Air has parked all its planes and terminated all its employees. Reading between the lines, it has lost 90% of its business due to the government-mandated lockdown of Alaska. This move allows its employees to draw unemployment benefits while the company waits to find out what the government assistance package will be. They have declared bankruptcy to help them hang in there. Will they be there for us this summer as the primary airline serving King Salmon? Will Alaska Airlines step into the void? The answer my friends is blowing in the wind.

Update on Covid-19 impact on the lodge
We will do everything prudent to operate the lodge this season and keep to our schedule.
Our main concern is the availability of the flights to and from Anchorage and King Salmon.
If we are not able to operate, or if a client is not able to travel to and from the lodge, then the clients' deposits will carry over to a subsequent year. There will be no fee for this carryover and the present price will be honored.
We will suspend the due date for the final payments for 2020 until we greater certainty as to our scheduling.
