Southeast Alaska's gateway serving the Metlakatla Indian Community.

Location
Metlakatla, United States
Annette Island Airport (ANN/PANT) is a public-use airport located on Annette Island in the Alaska Panhandle, serving the community of Metlakatla, the only federally recognized Native American reserve in Alaska. The airport sits on land belonging to the Metlakatla Indian Community and is one of the few airports in Southeast Alaska accessible by road within its immediate island environment. The airport provides essential air service connecting Metlakatla and the surrounding region to Ketchikan and other Southeast Alaska destinations. Given the remote and island-based geography of the area, air travel is a critical mode of transportation for residents and visitors alike. The facility is owned by the U.S. federal government and operated under agreements with local authorities, reflecting its unique status on a Native American reserve. It handles small regional aircraft and serves as a vital link for mail, cargo, and passenger services.
Terminals
The airport features a small, single terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a remote Alaskan community airport.
