Princess Cruise Sightseeing Plane Crash

Our deepest condolences to the passengers and families and friends of passengers from the ROYAL PRINCESS involved in the floatplane collision over an inlet near Ketchikan on Monday, May 13, 2019.

At this time it is unclear what caused the de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver operated by Mountain Air Service and the de Havilland Otter DHC-3 to collide as the Otter, operated by Taquan Air, returned from a Misty Fjords tour.
