FS Air Service is an American airline based in Anchorage, Alaska, USA. It was established in 1986 by Floyd Saltz, and operates regional passenger and cargo services, as well as cargo charters. In 1996, FS Air acquired a LearJet 35, which became the cornerstone of its medevac business. At its height, FS operated 2 Lears, 3 Metroliners, 2 Merlins, a Casa, and 2 Navajos. This fleet and its staff of well-qualified pilots and mechanics allowed FS to fulfill its mission statement: "Anything, Anytime, Anywhere!"
