This week, Anchorage-based Northern Pacific Airways, a wholly-owned subsidiary 
of FLOAT Alaska LLC, agreed to the purchase of its first six aircraft—Boeing 
757-200s. The airline completed the transaction to meet part of its initial 
fleet requirements. The first aircraft within this purchase will be delivered 
immediately.

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."
