| About Us |
Ward Air began as a single pilot single aircraft operation
out of Juneau in 1974 by Ken Ward. In 1993 Ken Ward
sold the company to its current owners. Two of the
current owners are longtime pilots who flew for Ward
Air, brothers Ed and Randy Kiesel. Ed is the company
President and Randy is the Chief Pilot. Together the
Kiesel brothers have flown throughout Southeast Alaska a
combined 30,000 hours making them some of the most
experienced pilots in this region.
Here at Ward Air our high standard of maintenance and
hiring of only the most experienced and skilled pilots has
helped us build an impeccable reputation, both locally
and throughout Southeast Alaska. Ward Air is the
company that the locals fly with. Our clientele includes
hunters, fishermen, contractors, cargo shippers and
sightseers. No other flying service in Juneau is as
respected as Ward Air.
Ward Air is proud of its long standing contracts with the
United States Forest Service, Alaska Department of Fish
& Game, Greens Creek Mine, Alaska Electric Light &
Power (AEL&P), and Douglas Island Pink And Chum
(DIPAC). Greens Creek mine has been flying its
employees and supplies exclusively with Ward Air for
over 30 years. We fly Fish and Game to some of the most
remote locations in Southeast Alaska to do studies on the
local fish and wildlife. The Snettisham complex includes
a hydro-electric plant operated by AEL&P and a Salmon
Hatchery operated by DIPAC. Both have been supported
by Ward Air since the inception of the company.
What makes our company so unique and successful is our
high regard and value of every customer and client. If
you've flown with us you already know what we mean; if
you haven't yet, we sure hope we get the chance to show
you.
