Southeast Alaska gateway serving the historic island city of Wrangell.

Location
Wrangell, United States
Wrangell Airport (WRG/PAWG) is a small public airport located on Wrangell Island in the Alaska Panhandle, serving the community of Wrangell, Alaska. It is owned and operated by the State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and provides essential air access to this island city, which has no road connection to the broader North American highway system. The airport supports scheduled commercial service as well as general aviation and charter flights, playing a vital role in connecting residents to regional hubs such as Ketchikan, Juneau, and Petersburg. Given Wrangell's remote location, air travel is one of the primary means of accessing the community alongside the Alaska Marine Highway System ferry service.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building consistent with the scale of a rural Alaska community airport.
Getting to & from
Ground transportation options are limited, with personal vehicles and taxis being the primary means of travel between the airport and downtown Wrangell.
Airlines here
Alaska Airlines subsidiary Alaska Seaplanes and regional carrier Ravn Alaska have historically provided scheduled service to Wrangell.
