The Flyalaska.com membership flying Job section was updated January 30, 2026. The membership section posts current Alaska jobs as well as several dozen more dating back as late as 2025. Because of the ongoing pilot shortage many of these older posted jobs are not filled. The jobs I post are dated and include links to company websites or their job description pages. The primary Alaska Flight Operations Directory lists companies divided into seven geographical areas: ANCHORAGE AREA, SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA, NORTHERN INTERIOR, NORTHERN COASTAL AND FAIRBANKS AREA, SOUTH EAST ALASKA, SOUTH WEST ALASKA, WESTERN ALASKA. Membership job posts come from any of these geographical areas.
Posts for Alaska flying jobs vary from single and multi-engine nose wheel and tail wheel airplanes, to sea planes, amphibs and occasionally helicopters. Seasonal job types include tourism, flyout lodge jobs, hunting trips, river rafting drop offs, or parts for disabled commercial fishing boats and fish hauling.
Year-round jobs service small bush communities, mines, native villages, and small towns. You could be flying mail, groceries, constuction materials, medical flights, charter flights and scheduled flights to and from remote settlements or larger towns, passenger transport etc. This is a small list of the missions and types of flying flown by pilots in Alaska.

Job postings for the next season begin to show up as early as the previous November and usually increase into December and the begining of the new year in January. But Alaska flying jobs posted in late 2025 and early 2026 are a little slower than previous years. Nevertheless, More pilot jobs are posted in February, then increase in early March. Posted Alaska pilot jobs peak by mid-April. Those jobs are posted mostly by FARs Part 135 operators and also some FARs Part 121 operators. There are a very few lodges that fly under FARs part 91. April is when many 135 operations start holding the required FARs Part 135 training classes for both initial training for newly hired pilots and recurrent training for existing company pilots. After April, hiring slows down.
