OUR EDGE

Alpine has invested 5 million dollars and over 5,000 man hours to complete this Beechcraft 1900D modification from passenger to a cargo carrier. We own the right to this supplemental type certificate, which gives us the competitive edge to always be above our competition. The Alpine Super Freighter mod is a revolutionary feat of engineering, proving everyone wrong when it came to the benefits this modification would entail. Alpine Air can deliver more at a lower cost than ever before, this leads to higher efficiency for us and our clients.
