Will those of us that work for Ravn be given the opportunity to have their investment taken out of their paychecks? For example; if an employee wished to invest $2600, they could have $100 taken out of each check for a year. Or is that not feasible?

Hmm, that might be tricky... we'll look into it with payroll / wefunder though!

Will they be having flights from Anchorage to Seattle and back?

Anchorage to Seattle is well served by Alaska Airlines and Delta. We are starting with city pairs that are underserved. Seattle may be in our future, but it will not be any time soon.

By investing in Ravn/NPA what are the benefits to me as an investor?

If you click in the invest now box the list of perks pops up. Perks are cumulative and are based on investment level.

How do we get our investments paid back over time? (Perks are just that, perks.) How do we earn our money back ... and hopefully, more than what we invested at the start?

As with investment in any privately held company (not publicly traded) selling your shares can be limited. As the company grows we expect that there will be a secondary market for trading however there is no guarantee. Additionally, we expect that eventually the company will go public through the IPO process, but again there is no guarantee of that and should not be counted on. With any investment there is inherent risk.

how long are the flight vouchers good for?

Hey Madelyn! They're good through December 31st, 2024!

Team

Welcome to the Northern Pacific

We bought Ravn, the regional airline of Alaska (since 1948), out of bankruptcy in 2020.

Our revenues were ~$50M in 2021, and are on pace for ~$70M in 2022.

But for 2023, we have much bigger plans.

This year, we renamed the airline Northern Pacific Airways, and are launching transpacific flights (with a stopover in Alaska, per the Icelandair and Copa Airlines model) between the lower 48 and Japan and Korea in 2023! See our new site at np.com for details.

Our timing could not be better.

Not just because of the opening up of Japan and Korea and backlog of "revenge travel", but also the lower cost to acquire aircraft, plus some matters out of our control... as discussed in this video (with 4M views):

We just received authority from the U.S. Department of Transportation to operate 8 large jets. We have already acquired four 757-200s and are in the process of getting them re-certified for flight operations. We expect to be fully FAA certified by December/January.

And so, we are taking this opportunity to let our friends, family, customers, and all Alaskans to participate in the next step in the evolution of Alaskan aviation!
