You are allowed up to 100 lbs of baggage per person free of charge. Additional baggage will be charged at our current excess baggage rate. On full flights you may be separated from your baggage and it may arrive on a later flight. It is possible your baggage may not travel on the same flight with you due to weight and space operational limitations. When this happens all reasonable efforts will be made to forward your baggage to its final destination as soon as possible.

Animals need to be in an appropriately sized hard sided kennel. Guns need to be unloaded and preferably in a hard sided case. Guns not secured in a locking case may not travel in the passenger cabin and will be loaded in the cargo area if available. We can accommodate most odd-shaped luggage as long as it can fit through the loading doors of the plane and fit within our cargo space.

1.       Firearms, Ammo and Personal Protection

a.       Firearms (including flare guns) and ammunition must be declared prior to travel or shipping as cargo. 

b.       Firearms must be unloaded and preferably carried in a locked, hard-sided container. Guns not secured in a locking case may not travel in the passenger cabin and will be loaded in the cargo area if available.

c.       They may be included in checked baggage if they are declared, unloaded and properly packaged.

d.       Ammunition must be securely packed in the original manufacturer’s package or in a container designed for ammunition and of sufficient strength to protect it from accidental crushing or discharge.  The projectile must be no larger than 11/16″ in diameter, the size of a dime.

e.       Bear spray, pepper spray or other personal protection sprays are not allowed on Grant Aviation aircraft due to safety concerns.

In keeping with ADA regulations, we make every effort to accommodate service animals. However, our planes do not have a separation between the cockpit and the cabin, and loose animals can be a threat to the safety of the flight. Our pilots will work with you to determine the best restraint mechanism that will allow you to be near your service animal, while also maintaining the safety of the flight. When stowing your service animal in a kennel, you will not be charged the standard pet transport fee.

If transporting hazardous material, a Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods form must be completed prior to bringing the freight to Grant Aviation for shipment. For more detailed information on regulations, please visit https://www.faa.gov/hazmat

Safety is our number one concern. Grant flies in some of the most remote parts of Alaska, where weather and visibility can have a strong impact on flight schedules. We do not fly in conditions of high winds, low visibility or other unsafe weather conditions. If weather or mechanical conditions delay a flight, we pledge to make every effort to keep you updated on your flight status.
