Bemidji Aviation Services, Inc. began operations in 1947. Larry Diffley and Mark Shough, took over in 1970, with three employees, their own Cessna 150 and the three 150's already in place at Bemidji Aviation. The early years involved a lot of fire patrol, flight instruction, some passenger charter work and the addition of a maintenance facility which had previously been lacking in Bemidji. The first Piper Aztec was added in 1975 when the all-weather charter service in Bemidji was born. In 1981 Bemidji Airlines began operation, with scheduled commuter service between Bemidji and the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. In the mid-eighties the business expanded to include many cargo runs and added many larger aircraft. The airline ran until 1991, at which time the on-demand passenger and cargo operation moved to the forefront. The current service area extends to anywhere in the Continental U.S. and Canada. Bemidji Aviation became a 100% ESOP company as of Jan 1, 2006.
