SANDPOINT — Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce officials welcomed Air Idaho Charters to the greater Sandpoint area with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Providing on-demand flights to destinations throughout the lower 48 states, Air Idaho Charters gives area residents a viable alternative to traditional air transportation.
The company operates a pressurized, multi-engine aircraft capable of accommodating up to five passengers comfortably with personalized service to the destination of choice.
“If you are flying to Seattle, Portland or Boise, we can probably have you at your destination before you would have even pulled into the Spokane Airport parking lot. With us, there are no security lines, or lost baggage,” said owner Andrew Berrey.
Business has started out brisk for the charter aircraft with winter bringing a greater demand than expected. A number of their flights have accommodated the major airlines delivering both parts and crew to their aircraft. Air Idaho Charters has a Beechcraft Baron 58P piloted by veteran airline transport pilot, Aaron Roark. The aircraft can fly above the weather at speeds in excess of 270 mph.
For convenience and peace of mind, Air Idaho Charters is also available for emergency flights 24 hours a day. Pet owners have the added luxury of being able to keep their pets with them on board at no extra charge.
The charter service is offering some spring promotional specials coming up that are worth noting. Treat mom and join Air Idaho Charters for a Mother’s Day wine tasting. The special includes round trip airfare from Sandpoint to Walla Walla for up to five people and a limo vineyard tour.
For Father’s Day grab the golf clubs and take dad on a golf outing, which includes round-trip airfare from Sandpoint to Anaconda, Mont., for up to four golfers. Play the Jack Nicklaus-designed Old Works Golf Course in Anaconda.
Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce officials offered their wishes for Air Idaho Charters’ continued success in the community.
