History
Era Alaska was formed from the merger of the Frontier Alaska Group, Frontier Flying Service, Era Aviation, and Hageland Aviation. The three airlines partnered together and now serve as the largest air carrier in the state of Alaska by connecting more cities and passengers, utilizing the largest airplane fleet in Alaska. In 2010, the partnership was re-branded as "Era Alaska". The airline group also acquired Arctic Circle Air Service, a local cargo airline, in 2010. The airline's history in providing safe air service has earned it the Medallion Shield by the Medallion Foundation.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Bias, point of view, fury—are they ... so dangerous and must they be ironed out of history, the hills flattened and the contours leveled? The professors talk ... about passion and point of view in history as a Calvinist talks about sin in the bedroom.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man’s right to his body, or woman’s right to her soul.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
