MarkAir
MarkAir was an Alaska jet carrier operating from 1984 to 1995 that started after World War II as Interior Airways (later Alaska International Air (AIA)). Interior Airways grew from founder Jim Magoffin's bush pilot activities to pioneering flying freight to Alaska's North Slope (facing the Arctic Ocean), first in the 1950s for the military and then later, as an intrastate airline, playing a key role in supporting oil exploration in the 1960s (that resulted in the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field), including flying Lockheed L-100 Hercules aircraft into gravel strips laid down on tundra (or in the case of AIA, onto icebergs).
