Adak Island Ns

Adak Island Airport traces its origins to the World War II Naval Air Station established on Adak in 1942 and transitioned to civilian use after the base closed in the late 1990s. The facility is compact, with a single small passenger terminal serving a strategically long former military runway, and it’s the main air gateway for the western Aleutians. Accessibility is limited but straightforward: scheduled and charter flights—most commonly to Anchorage and regional Aleutian communities—plus local shuttles or taxis connect travelers to the town; car rental options are scarce. Due to its remoteness, fares tend to run higher than mainland routes, and it is not a hub for any major carrier, though Alaska Airlines and regional operators have historically provided service.
