Remote Aleutian Island gateway serving Adak's small community.

Location
Adak, United States
Adak Airport (IATA: ADK, ICAO: PADK) is a public airport located on Adak Island in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, United States. It serves the small community of Adak, one of the westernmost populated places in the United States, situated roughly 1,200 miles southwest of Anchorage. The airport was originally constructed as a U.S. Navy military facility during World War II and later expanded during the Cold War as part of Naval Air Station Adak. Following the closure of the naval station in 1997, the airport was transferred to civilian use and is now managed by the Aleut Corporation and local authorities. Due to its extreme remoteness and small population, the airport sees very limited commercial air service, with flights primarily connecting Adak to Anchorage. Weather conditions in the Aleutians, including frequent fog, high winds, and precipitation, present significant operational challenges.
Terminals
The airport has a single, modest terminal facility reflecting the very small volume of passengers it serves.
Getting to & from
Ground transportation on Adak Island is extremely limited, with personal vehicles being the primary means of travel between the airport and the small town.
Airlines here
PenAir (Peninsula Airways) has historically provided the primary scheduled commercial service connecting Adak to Anchorage.
