Aleutian Airways is returning to Homer this fall.

The airline began flying between Anchorage and Homer last year on Sept. 19. They suspended services nearly seven months later due to a repaving project at the Homer Airport making the runway too narrow during the summer.

The airline is scheduled to fly to and from Anchorage twice a day on weekdays, and once a day on weekends.

They will be joining Ravn Alaska as the two airlines offering regular service from Homer to Anchorage.

Aleutian Airways also began a program last May where customers will be able to book flights and earn miles through Alaska Airlines.

Service will resume on Nov. 1.
