NTSB Forum To Spotlight Alaska Part 135 Ops
Part 135 operations in Alaska were involved in 207 accidents resulting in 80 fatalities between January 2008 and June 2019.

Continuing its quest to highlight safety issues involved with the Part 135 sector, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is hosting a roundtable in Anchorage on Friday that will focus on flight operations in Alaska. Led by NTSB chairman Robert Sumwalt, the roundtable will bring together Alaska-based commercial operators, safety experts, aviation industry associations, FAA officials, and Alaska native tribal leaders in an attempt to delve into ways to bolster safety of Part 135 operations conducted in the region.
