You have by now seen or heard the Beaver operating into and out of the Stehekin Landing this spring.

For those of you who haven’t had an opportunity to see the press release in either the Mirror newspaper or on Golakechelan.com, this email should bring you up to speed.

Chelan Airways was recently acquired by a group of local Chelan area investors. All in the group understand the need for air service on the lake and weren’t willing to let it disappear. Chelan Airways is committed to keeping prices competitive. We will be introducing some lower fares as well as additional fare opportunities in the form of specials on last minute seat availability.

The airplane we are using is still a de Havilland Beaver but now with capability of landing on traditional hard surface airports as well as water. This will allow Chelan Airways to reintroduce year-around service from both our traditional waterside location as well as the Chelan Airport. Meaning that during the winter months and low lake level periods our downlake departure and arrival point will be the Chelan Airport.

Chelan Airways looks forward to being of service to the Stehekin Community. We will continue to keep the Community informed on seat availability, so please look for email announcements.

See you on board.
