Klondike Airways Ltd.



Klondike Airways Ltd., was created to fill the void left by rival Yukon Airways in 1928. Klondike Airways Ltd, was a transport company started by W.L. Phelps and T.C. Richards employing caterpillar tractors and operating regular passenger, freight and mail service.


One of the difficulties with Klondike Airways is the number of flights made are unknown. When looking to buy covers bearing the Klondike Airways stamp, one must keep in mind that in may not have been flown at all. It could have travelled by tractor or train. In my opinion, when buying Klondike Airways covers, one should look at each cover with a critical eye.
