Our Story
The experienced aviators behind Yakutat Air. Find us in the GREY building, just two doors down from the Alaska Airlines Terminal.
Co-Owner & Pilot
Jordan Baker, co-owner of Yakutat Air, has been flying bush planes into remote backcountry strips since 2018. With nearly a decade of experience spanning the rugged Pacific Northwest to the vast Alaskan tundra, Jordan knows these mountains, rivers, and coastlines like the back of his hand. He has also flown commercially, piloting 76-passenger aircraft around the world.
An avid fisherman and hunter himself, Jordan doesn't just fly you to the best spots. He knows them firsthand. That local knowledge is what sets Yakutat Air apart.
Co-Owner & Pilot
Ben Child, co-owner of Yakutat Air, brings nearly five years of Alaska bush flying to the operation. Since 2021, he has flown hunters, rafters, fishermen, backpackers, scientists, gold miners, and engineers from the Arctic to the Alaska Peninsula and everywhere in between—building thousands of hours of flight time and an impeccable safety record along the way.
Ben and his wife relocated from Fairbanks to Yakutat to provide year-round air charter service to the community. While the busy season brings plenty of out-of-state visitors, his focus is on bolstering the local economy and giving Yakutat residents affordable, reliable access to the spectacular country they call home.
