Welcome to the world of Wings Airways and the Taku Glacier Lodge

At the core of Wings Airways beats a fleet of five classic de Havilland Otter seaplanes — Alaska’s most iconic bush aircraft, reimagined for the modern age. Each Otter has a story, a name, and a spirit all its own. They are living links to Alaska’s golden era of flight — rugged, beautiful, and endlessly reliable.

Our Otters are turbine-powered workhorses, meticulously maintained and upgraded to meet the highest standards of safety, comfort, and performance. These aircraft have earned their reputation as the backbone of Alaska’s skies — steady, graceful, and built to thrive where few others can.

Every seat is a window seat. Every flight is powered by a blend of innovation and tradition. From the satisfying rise off Juneau’s harbor to the soft water landing beside a glacier, each moment aboard our aircraft reminds guests why floatplane travel remains one of Alaska’s most unforgettable experiences.

Our pilots — each deeply experienced — carry on a legacy of skill and storytelling passed down through generations of aviators. They are more than pilots; they are stewards of a timeless craft and the landscapes they traverse.

These planes are more than machines. They are part of the soul of Wings Airways — carrying the spirit of Alaska in every takeoff and every return.
