This week, Anchorage-based Northern Pacific Airways, a wholly-owned subsidiary

The airline intends to offer service between points in the U.S. and Asia, via
Anchorage, Alaska.
The acquisition of the Boeing 757-200s is the first step in Northern Pacific's
business plan. Prior to entering service, the aircraft will undergo a full
C-level maintenance check by Certified Aviation Services LLC (C.A.S.), a
leading maintenance, repair and overhaul (M.R.O.) firm in San Bernardino,
California. The Alaska-based carrier intends to continue enlarging its fleet as
it prepares for passenger flights.
The best in class Boeing 757-200 is powered by twin 36-600 Rolls-Royce RB211
underwing turbo engines for a maximum takeoff weight of 255,000 lbs. The plane
can transport over 200 passengers to their destination's each flight, with a
range of 3,915nm/-7,250km per fueling. The single-aisle plane is less costly to
fly than its wide-bodied counterparts, yet has a range greater than other
aircraft of similar size. Over the duration of their manufacturing program,
more than 1,049 Boeing 757-200s were delivered. The aircraft is well suited for
point-to-point, long-haul flights, and has enough space to accommodate each
passenger's carry-on.
"Northern Pacific is proud to introduce these powerful aircraft as the
foundation of our fleet," said Rob McKinney, Northern Pacific's Chief Executive
Officer. "The Boeing 757-200 will help us achieve operational savings and
efficiencies while offering our customers a rewarding travel experience."
