66 AIRLINER WORLD APRIL 2018

T

he words ‘air travel’ can

mean so much more than

beach holidays, city breaks

and First-Class pampering.

For those living and working

in remote locations, it can be a way

to earn a living, an essential artery

keeping far-flung spots from being

cut off and can mean the difference

between life and death.

The Milk Run

Air travel is the only practical way to

access small towns and communities

that are way off the beaten track. It is a

vital link to the rest of the world with

flights transporting essential

cargo, workers, medical

emergency aid, fami-

Daniel Johnston joins Alaska

Airlines on the ‘milk run’, providing

an essential lifeline to the remotest

communities in America’s

largest state.
