Talkeetna Air Taxis

 

Twid and Adrian have used Paul Roderick's Talkeetna Air Taxi for over 10 years of Expeditions. He company and pilots run a professional and reliable service. The Planes are the life line for any Expedition to the Alaska Range. They provide access to super remote areas. The flying is dangerous and difficult and Paul and his crew are the best outfit in town. They are used by most of the climbing groups and they specialise in difficult glacial landings. They will drop you off if its possible and if they want nobody will!

The company has a well run office with Sandra and Anne keeping the climbers and pilots well organised. If you are planning on a trip to Alaska drop them an email and book your flight asap. It can be very busy with many flights heading out each day. 
Do take care to watch the weight allowances for the flights bare in mind they are small planes that are travelling at altitude. Weight is important.
  • If Denali National Park was a 3D chess game, Paul would be the Bobby Fischer of the Park.  He always knows where it's good to land, where all the climbers are and at what point they are in their climb.
  • Began flying when he was twelve and started with Talkeetna Air Taxi in 1992 before he took over in 1996.
  •  Paul loves to be outside, preferably skiing or climbing with his family.
