NANA is owned by the more than 15,000 Iñupiat shareholders who live in or have roots in Northwest Alaska.
It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the news of a missing Bering Air flight from our neighboring region in Norton Sound. Our thoughts are with the passengers, crew, their families, and the entire Bering Air team as they endure what must be an unimaginable time.
Please join us in sending prayers and positive thoughts to the families, individuals affected, and the dedicated teams working tirelessly under challenging conditions to locate the missing aircraft. Their courage and dedication are a testament to the resilience of the Iñupiat Iḷitqusiat and the care we have for one another.
