Regional air carrier Kenai Aviation announces immediate shutdown

**Summary:**On November 4th, Kenai Aviation, a regional airline serving Alaska for over sixty years, abruptly ceased operations due to financial losses exacerbated by the pandemic. The shutdown left customers stranded and isolated, particularly in remote towns like Unalakleet, where air service is crucial. The sudden closure, following Ravn Alaska's collapse earlier this year, raises concerns about the future of small-town air travel in Alaska. With a government-subsidized airline contract process on hold, communities anxiously await a solution to restore vital connections before the long winter sets in. DNN | The Daily News Now!
