Ryan Air, Inc.

Ryan Air, Inc., based in Anchorage, Alaska, is a for-profit small business specializing in fixed-wing aviation services for federal agencies operating in remote Alaskan regions. The company provides critical transportation and logistical support across Alaska's challenging geographic environment, where commercial aviation options are limited and fixed-wing aircraft are essential for government operations. Since registering with SAM.gov in May 2001, Ryan Air has established itself as a reliable aviation services provider to multiple Department of the Interior divisions and other federal agencies.

Ryan Air's federal contract portfolio demonstrates extensive experience delivering diverse aviation-related services across multiple Interior Department agencies and other federal entities. The company has provided fixed-wing flight services for personnel transport, equipment and cargo delivery, SNOTEL maintenance operations, emergency fire flights, cleanup missions, and field camp support across Alaska. Recent delivery orders include a $15,470 contract for aircraft transportation supporting a National Park Service community outreach event in Nondalton (December 2025), a $12,325.33 award from the Fish and Wildlife Service Region 7 for on-call flight transportation (August 2025), and a $40,500 contract modification with Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 extending performance through March 31, 2026 for Salmon River operations. Additional work encompasses $184,882.88 in Bureau of Land Management emergency fire flights, $34,599.95 for Dry Bay materials flights, $47,500 for BLM cadastral gear transport, and $20,675.02 for Fish and Wildlife Service field camp transport operations. Ryan Air has also supported the Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Park Service, and U.S. Department of Agriculture on various missions, including a $7,211.79 USDA SNOTEL maintenance contract in the Aniak/McGrath areas. All delivery orders have been awarded without set-aside designations, indicating the company competes on a full and open basis against other qualified aviation providers.

Ryan Air holds a $20 million multiple-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) with the Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center, awarded April 1, 2021 and effective through March 31, 2026, specifically set aside for total small businesses. This IDC serves as the parent vehicle under which Ryan Air receives numerous delivery orders to provide on-call fixed-wing flight services supporting various Interior Department agencies operating in remote Alaska. The IDC enables Ryan Air to offer flexible aviation support for mission-critical activities including personnel transport, equipment delivery, geographic and technical work, cleanup operations, and logistical support across the state. Task orders under this IDC have been issued by the Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service (Regions 1 and 7), National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Department of Agriculture, demonstrating the broad applicability of the contract vehicle across Interior Department operations and partner agencies. While the parent IDC carries a small business set-aside designation, individual delivery orders issued under the contract do not utilize set-asides, allowing Ryan Air to compete openly for task order awards alongside other qualified contractors.
