Air Excursions was organized by Mr. Steven Wilson as a sole proprietorship under the laws of the State of Alaska and began operations as an air taxi in January 1991. In November 1999, Mr. Wilson changed the organizational structure of the company to a limited liability company, and in February 2000, all of the stock in the company was transferred to Mr. Michael Loverink. Air Excursions currently operates on-demand service between Gustavus and Juneau. If its application is approved, the carrier plans to convert these on-demand passenger flights to scheduled service and to carry mail. Air Excursions will provide the proposed service using a five-passenger PA-32 aircraft which is owned by Mr. Wilson.

If granted the certificate authority it seeks, Air Excursions intends to provide limited scheduled passenger service between Gustavus and Juneau, Alaska. In addition, the carrier intends to carry mail. The company expects that its proposed scheduled operations will total approximately 312 additional flight hours per year.
