Harold’s Air Service, as it was originally known, operated for many years in Interior Alaska. In the early 1980’s, Harold’s Air was acquired by the Bidzy Ta Hot Aana native corporation, which renamed the airline Friendship Air Alaska. Friendship was based in Fairbanks, Alaska, and had scheduled routes from remote bases in numerous towns and villages in Interior Alaska. Bidzy Ta Hot Aana ceased operating Friendship Air in 1989, and in 1992, resumed business under the name Tanana Air Service. In 2010, Mr. Martin purchased the assets of Redline Air Charters]
