Frontier Alaska and Hageland combined in 2008 to form the parent company HoTH and rebrand their new services as "Frontier Alaska." The following year, with the acquisition of Era, Frontier Alaska was rebranded as Era Alaska.[4] Operations ceased with the collapse and bankruptcy of Ravn Alaska in 2020.
