Alpine Air Express Chile was a cargo airline based in Santiago, Chile. It operates scheduled domestic cargo services. It was wholly owned by Alpine Air Express based in Utah, USA.Its planning was to operate overnight cargo flights from Santiago to various cities of Chile, with a planned expansion from that city to various other countries in Latin America. LANCargo lowered its fares shortly after Alpine Air began services, thus it had to return two of the three Beech 1900Cs and look for a new market niche by the end of 2003. To operate passenger flights between Puerto Montt, Chaitén and Melinka (all cities in the south of Chile) it was brought a Beechcraft 99A, while the last Beech 1900C was returned to the US in February 2004. Passenger operations were successful until its only aircraft had a bad landing at Puerto Aysén by the mid-2004, being abandoned both the aircraft and the Alpine Air intentions to following operations in Chile.

Fleet
