Description
Egli Air Haul began its operation in Utah in 1979, flying a DeHavilland Beaver bushplane. The business performed specialized cargo hauling to off-airport landing sites throughout the Western United States Region. It served the oil & gas, and remote-site construction industries, as well as fishing/river-running lodges in the Idaho Backcountry area out of Salmon, Idaho.
Egli Air came to Bristol Bay, Alaska in 1982 to haul fish for the commercial fishing industry. Fish-haul never proved to be that great for the company. So following the commercial fishing season Egli Air began hauling groceries, developing it into a steady operation.
In 1990 Egli began operating a Cessna 206 airplane instead of the larger, slower, and more expensive Beaver. This smaller, faster plane proved to be up to the cargo task, and at the same time was more marketable for passenger work. As the business grew, Egli Air Haul's flight line expanded to 5 airplanes, performing a variety of tasks. These jobs have included air taxi, aerial survey, air tours, sport fishing, big game hunting, search and rescue, aerial photography, and even the US mail. They have flown everything from school kids, technicians of various trades, and government officials, to chickens, ducks, dogs, and multi-national corporate VIP's. Sam, the founder of the company says, "We've even hauled Eskimo Pies to Eskimos!"
