Our Fleet
Turboprops, piston, and helicopters. Compare seats, speed and range to find the right fit for your group.
Kodiak 100
Our workhorse: nine seats, big windows and a turbine that's at home on gravel strips and high mountain airports.
TBM 700
Our fastest aircraft, pressurized to climb above the weather and reach Denver, Las Vegas or Phoenix in a fraction of the drive.
GippsAero Airvan
Built for sightseeing, with a high wing and oversized windows that give every seat a clear view.
Cessna 207
A stretched Cessna with room for a small group and their bags on short regional hops.
Cessna 172
The most-built airplane in history, and the most affordable way to charter with us.
Robinson R44
Wraparound glass and the freedom to hover make it the best seat in the fleet for photographers.

Watched closely, by design
As a Part 135 air carrier, Redtail operates under ongoing FAA oversight. Inspectors review our manuals, training, maintenance and flight operations, and our operations specifications spell out what, where and how we're approved to fly. Inside the company, safety isn't a department. Anyone on our team can raise a concern, and a pilot's decision not to fly is never second-guessed.
- FAA-issued operations specifications define every type of flight we conduct.
- A Director of Operations, Chief Pilot and Director of Maintenance answer to the FAA for how we fly and maintain.
- Pilots pass recurring proficiency and line checks. Aircraft follow an FAA-approved maintenance program, tracked by hour and calendar.
- Pilots and maintenance technicians are enrolled in the FAA-mandated drug and alcohol testing program.
One operator, start to finish
The aircraft you see here are the aircraft you fly. No brokers and no last-minute swaps to another company.
Room for the whole group
Several aircraft can fly the same trip together, so teams, weddings and river groups travel as one.
Fleet questions
Not sure which aircraft fits? Call (435) 259-7421 and we'll talk it through.
Which aircraft is right for my trip?
Tell us your group size, bags and route and we'll recommend one. As a rule of thumb: up to 3 in the Cessna 172, 5 in the 207, 7 in the Airvan, 9 in the Kodiak, and up to 4 in the TBM when speed matters most.
Is there a restroom on board?
No. Most of our flights are under 90 minutes, and on longer trips we can plan a stop along the way.
Can a big group fly together?
Yes. Several aircraft can fly the same trip, so teams, wedding parties and river groups arrive together.
Can I request a specific aircraft?
Yes, subject to availability. Your quote names the aircraft type you'll fly.
Who flies and maintains the fleet?
Redtail does. Our pilots fly every aircraft under our FAA Part 135 certificate, and each one is maintained on an FAA-approved program.
