Hans Munich

Hans Munich is a sole proprietorship owned by Hans Munich that does business as Yakutat Coastal Airlines, a Federal Aviation Administration certified air carrier based in Yakutat, Alaska.

Hans Munich, through his company Yakutat Coastal Airlines, has provided fixed wing flight services to various Department of Interior agencies and the US Forest Service in Alaska through prime federal contract awards and delivery orders issued under multiple indefinite delivery vehicles since 2007. Services include on-call and as-needed fixed wing aircraft charter, air transportation, and specialty aerial services such as fire suppression and surveillance to support federal land management, scientific research, logistics, and emergency response programs in remote coastal and interior regions of Alaska. Hans Munich has provided these aviation services through firm-fixed price, fixed price with EPA, and time-and-materials contract types with no set aside provisions designated. Customers have included the National Park Service, US Geological Survey, and US Forest Service out of facilities in Yakutat.

Hans Munich currently holds an IDIQ to provide on-call fixed wing flight services to Department of Interior agencies in Alaska through March 2025 with a potential value of $20 million. Delivery orders placed under this IDIQ since 2021 have tasked Yakutat Coastal Airlines with providing aircraft and pilots on an as-needed basis to transport personnel and cargo, conduct aerial surveillance, and enable field work across isolated areas near Yakutat, Icy Bay, and Dry Bay. Additionally, Hans Munich holds a $7.5 million basic ordering agreement with the US Forest Service through 2024 to supply air tanker services for wildfire suppression when needed out of Yakutat, Alaska and other locations to assist federal and state firefighting efforts in the Pacific Northwest.
