Alaska Tour Plane Accidents

Alaska Tour Planes – Our great state is a beautiful location that many people come to visit. Alaskans and tourists often charter a plane for a different view of the landscape.

Companies offer Alaska’s plane tours year-round, allowing tourists to make the most of their visit. This includes winter tourists. While most small aircraft flights occur without incident, various factors can still lead to a small aircraft accident. Factors include weather, a mistake by the pilot or a mechanical error.

Alaska Tour Plane Accidents

Small plane accidents do not happen as often as car accidents, which occur daily. When a small plane accident does occur, the outcome far more likely to be devastating. Alaska tour plane accidents often involve serious injuries or even fatalities amongst passengers. Passengers may be stranded in an area with no access to help. They may have no way to contact rescue teams and little, if any, supplies. While riding in a small aircraft is usually safe, and precautions are taken, there is still always inherent risk associated with small aircraft.

Tour Company Responsibilities

Alaska tour plane companies are responsible for regularly maintaining and inspecting their aircraft. They must also ensure their pilots are qualified and monitor weather conditions to avoid flying tourists into dangerous storms. These groups can be held liable in certain situations. For example, they may fail to provide adequate emergency supplies or neglect proper and timely maintenance. The company may be liable if the pilot or staff act negligently or fail to clearly disclose the tour’s risks in advance.
