Higher for Hire (originally called Baloo's Air Service) is a "one plane" delivery service located in Cape Suzette delivering cargos to different areas of the world. Their cargo has included fresh produce, fragile wares, dairy, high explosives, ornaments, artifacts, household items, and other incredible items.

TaleSpin[]
The place was formally managed by Baloo who is also the pilot of the delivery plane the Sea Duck (which is kept in the dock outside the building) until he fell into bankruptcy. Rebecca Cunningham bought the contract from the bank and took over the business, with Baloo staying on as the delivery pilot, Kit Cloudkicker becoming the navigator, and Wildcat continuing as the company's mechanic. When Baloo asks why Rebecca had renamed it "Higher for Hire", her reply is "Higher as in up and Hire as in for money!" Her slogan for the company is "If you're buying, we're flying!"
The main building is the home of Baloo and Kit. It consists of an office (the calls and orders of clients are received there), an upstairs bedroom, kitchen, warehouse (the place where the cargo and other equipment, such as plane parts are safely stored away), a bathroom, and a Watch Tower (the place for looking out and guiding planes, ships, and deliveries).
DuckTales 2017 series[]
The company exists in the 2017 DuckTales series, first appearing in "The Lost Cargo of Kit Cloudkicker!" It was started by Baloo von Bruinwald, as in its previous incarnation, but is now managed by an adult Kit Cloudkicker. However, because of Kit's poor piloting skills, the service fell into bankruptcy and the Sea Duck is seen to have been purchased by an adult Molly Cunningham for her Sky Circus.
