Remote Alaskan gateway serving the Northway community.

Location
Northway, United States
Northway Airport (IATA: ORT, ICAO: PAOR) is a small general aviation and commuter airport located in Northway, Alaska, near the Canadian border. It serves the remote Northway community and surrounding areas in the eastern Interior Alaska region, providing essential air access to a region with no year-round road connections to major population centers. The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and managed by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. It plays a critical role in supporting local residents, cargo delivery, and bush flying operations typical of remote Alaskan communities. Northway Airport has historically served as an international entry point for general aviation aircraft crossing between Alaska and Canada, making it notable for customs and border clearance purposes for small aircraft on trans-Alaska routes.
Terminals
The airport has a simple, small terminal facility consistent with a rural bush airport serving a very small population.
Getting to & from
Ground transportation options are extremely limited, with the local road network providing access within the Northway area, though the community is only accessible via the Alaska Highway seasonally.
Airlines here
Scheduled commercial service has historically been provided by small regional and charter carriers operating bush routes in Alaska, though scheduled service may be limited or seasonal.
