Remote Arctic gateway serving an Iñupiat village in Alaska.

Location
Anaktuvuk Pass, United States
Anaktuvuk Pass Airport (AKP) is a small public-use airport serving the remote community of Anaktuvuk Pass, located in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska within the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. The village of Anaktuvuk Pass is one of the few permanent settlements in the central Brooks Range and is accessible primarily by air year-round. The airport is owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and serves as a critical lifeline for the community, providing access to essential goods, medical services, and passenger travel. It is classified as a rural airport under the Essential Air Service program, which helps subsidize commercial air service to remote Alaskan communities. The airstrip is unpaved gravel and is designed to handle small aircraft suited to the challenging Arctic environment. Flight operations can be affected by severe weather, including fog, high winds, and winter storms common to the region.
Terminals
The airport has minimal terminal infrastructure, consisting of a small basic passenger building typical of remote Bush Alaska airports.
