Alpine Air Express

Alpine Air Express is an American airline based in Provo, Utah. It operates scheduled and chartered air cargo services on over 100 routes throughout Utah, Montana, Minnesota, western Wisconsin, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, California, and Colorado.

The airline was established in 1971 and received its Air Carrier Certificate in 1979. It originally operated scheduled passenger and cargo services, aircraft maintenance and a flight school with passenger services being discontinued in 1999.

While Alpine Air was performing scheduled passenger operations in the 1980s and 1990s, it served the following cities in Utah, Colorado, and Nevada:

Some cities were served by Scenic Aviation and Castle Valley Aviation, on-demand charter services operating on behalf of Alpine Air.

In 2001, the company began a shift towards a larger cargo presence with their first public trade of stock and their first Beech 1900 being placed into service. It was this same year which they commenced operations out of their new Provo facility.

The airline tried to establish Alpine Air Chile,[citation needed] in an attempt to enter Chile's air freight market. The project was not successful and was discontinued in 2005, with three Beechcraft 1900C being re-integrated into the US fleet.

Alpine Air Express now currently only operates CFR Part 135 scheduled and chartered cargo operations.

Into 2025, the carrier had done work to develop the Alpine Super Freighter, a modified version of the Beech 1900D. The modification allows the airline to carry more cargo per flight, making cargo runs more efficient.
