Gem Air is a commuter airline based in Salmon, Idaho, United States. The company has been operating in Idaho since 1982 (though the company operated under the name Salmon Air until 2009, when they sold the name to McCall Aviation). Between 2009 and 2014, the company offered limited charter and contract services. In 2014, Gem Air again started offering a full fleet of charter, scheduled, and cargo services. Gem Air mainly serves the mountain west: Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Washington, and Oregon. [2]
Gem Air provides on-demand flights to the Idaho backcountry, including flights to the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and Selway-Bitterroot wilderness. Gem Air also offers summer service between multiple towns and cities within the state, including Boise, Salmon, Stanley, and McCall. Scheduled service is offered September–May between Boise and Salmon. Gem Air offers on-demand (charter) service to the entire mountain west, operating frequently in and out of Salt Lake City, UT, Sun Valley, ID, Jackson Hole, WY, Bozeman, MT, and Bend, OR.
