Kootenai Aviation, Inc., provides local scenic flights over majestic mountains and beautiful lakes near Libby in the Cabinet Wilderness Area, Air Tours including Glacier Park, regional excursion flights to Mt. Saint Helens and Mt. Rainier as well as Air Taxi Services in the Northwestern states. Our FAA certified operating area includes all of the lower 48 states for day or night flights. However our more usual operating area is Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Northern California, and parts of Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, N & S Dakota. The aircraft is a Cessna 177RG. It is a single engine, retractable landing gear, 4 seat (3 passenger) aircraft that has a very capable, 160 mph cruise speed and 6 hr (no fuel reserve) maximum cruise flight time. There are limitations on passenger and baggage weight but the aircraft is able to meet many needs. For instance, with two 200# passengers, each with 50# of baggage and carry on items, we are still able to carry 5.0 hours worth of fuel. That's enough fuel to fly from Libby, MT to Miles City, MT and still have 1.7 hrs of fuel reserve! It's enough fuel to fly to Boise, Idaho with 2.5 hrs. reserve fuel or Seattle, Washington and also have 2.5 hrs. fuel reserve. Since we operate a light aircraft, there are many small airports that are available to us that are not suitable for larger jets. Just give us a call and we can give you the time and charges to the nearest suitable airport for your destination. We can also provide information regarding car rental, taxi service or other needs that may not be readily searchable on the web in many of the small communities we can serve. However, we are limited to flying in visual conditions where airframe icing is not an issue. Thus winter flights are possible but can be difficult to schedule due to weather. We do not transport Hazardous Materials.
