星空服务航空（Star Air Service，后期改名为“星空航空 - Star Air Lines”和“阿拉斯加航空 - Alaska Star Airlines”）是一家阿拉斯加在1932年到1944年的營運的航空公司。三个飞行员在得到阿拉斯加当地一个富有的矿主资助后在西雅圖开办了一所飞行驾校和非定期航班，并于1932年3月用汽船将一架开放式驾驶舱双翼机（open-cockpit biplane）运送至阿拉斯加。星空服务航空在1932年4月成立于安克雷奇，注册资本为4000美金。开始时该公司在训练飞行员上小有成就，不过在一次意外坠机事件中，他们的飞机完全被毁坏。幸运的是，他们的赞助者帮助他们重新购买了一架更大的封闭式客舱飞机，使得冬季运营成为可能。

Star Air Service, later Star Air Lines and Alaska Star Airlines was an American air service in Alaska from 1932 to 1944. With financial help from a wealthy Alaska miner, three pilots who had started a flying school and charter business in Seattle, shipped an open-cockpit biplane by steamship to Alaska in March 1932. Star Air Service was incorporated in April, 1932 in Anchorage with capitalization of $4,000. The company had some early success training student pilots, but their airplane was destroyed in a crash. Their financial backer helped them purchase a larger plane with an enclosed cabin which supported winter operations.

"What fair?" is a good question. Most references to the history of the Palmer fair indicate that it didn't begin until 1936.

Star Air Service, later Star Air Lines and Alaska Star Airlines was an American air service in Alaska from 1932 to 1944. With financial help from a wealthy Alaska miner, three pilots who had started a flying school and charter business in Seattle, shipped an open-cockpit biplane by steamship to Alaska in March 1932. Star Air Service was incorporated in April, 1932 in Anchorage with capitalization of $4,000. The company had some early success training student pilots, but their airplane was destroyed in a crash. Their financial backer helped them purchase a larger plane with an enclosed cabin which supported winter operations. Three air services were founded in Anchorage in 1932. There was a surplus of airplanes, and not enough business to support them all, which prompted the 1934 merger of McGee Airways with Star Air Service. Star became the largest carrier in Alaska. A lack of financial resources and poor management continued to haunt the company. One of the founders lost his pilot's license and another died in a plane crash in 1936. With a change in management, the company was sold to a new group of investors in 1937, and renamed Star Air Lines. Government regulation of Alaska airline routes which began in 1938, along with continued financial instability of Alaska's air carriers prompted a consolidation within the industry. In 1942, Star Air Lines was purchased by New York City businessman Raymond Marshall. The new owners acquired three smaller Alaska carriers, gaining additional scheduled routes to Fairbanks, Nome and the Kuskokwim area. The expanded company was renamed Alaska Star Airlines. In September 1943, after narrowly beating a competitor who was also filing for the name, the company was renamed again, becoming Alaska Airlines, which continues to operate today.
