Anvik Airport

Anvik Airport in Anvik, Alaska, opened in the mid-20th century (around the 1950s) and operates as a small, single-terminal regional airstrip vital to this Yukon River community. Modest in size, it handles scheduled commuter flights, air taxis and cargo that connect residents to larger hubs; regular links are available via regional carriers to cities like Nome and Anchorage through connecting services. Ground access is limited—local roads, river transport and charter boats or snowmachines in winter are common—so most travelers fly in. Because of its remote location and limited competition, fares can be pricier than typical domestic airports, and the field is not a hub for any major carrier, instead serving Alaska’s regional commuter airlines.
