As an Alaskan owned and operated airline, Grant Aviation is eligible to be a part of the Buy Alaska.com and Check Local Buy Local Programs.

BuyAlaska.com is a program designed by UAA and the Alaska Small Business Development Center. Partners include the Anchorage Economic Development Corporation, chambers of commerce, industry associations, and business assistance throughout Alaska.

Check Local Buy Local is a program created from Chamber of Commerce feedback.

Both programs invite Alaskans, visitors, and those who have always wanted to come to Alaska to search for local products and services before buying Outside!

If every Alaskan shifted just 10% of their Outside purchases back to Alaska, the Alaska economy would be bolstered by 1.1 billion dollars and 4,400 jobs!

Together - with a shared vision - we can make this extraordinary land an even better place to work, live or visit!
