Alaska Central Express (ACE Air) was a regional airline based in Anchorage, Alaska, operating scheduled and charter passenger and cargo services to communities throughout the state. The carrier served many rural and remote Alaskan destinations that are inaccessible by road, providing a vital transportation link for residents and freight. Operating under the IATA code KO and ICAO code AER with the callsign ACE AIR, the airline utilized small turboprop and piston aircraft suited to Alaska's challenging terrain and short unpaved airstrips. ACE Air filled an important niche in Alaska's bush flying sector, complementing larger regional carriers. The airline faced the operational difficulties common to Alaskan regional carriers, including severe weather, remote infrastructure, and high operating costs. It is no longer listed as an active carrier, having ceased operations.
