## Description

Wright Air Service flies in from Fairbanks most weekdays, and those flights are the entire supply line of Anaktuvuk Pass Airport (IATA: AKP, ICAO: PAKP), which handled roughly 1,180 tonnes of freight in 2024 — 2,596,000 lbs in FAA statistics. Owned by the North Slope Borough, the field has a single gravel runway 2/20 of about 1,460 by 30 metres, limiting traffic to STOL-capable turboprops. Most goods arrive under the US Postal Service Bypass Mail programme, which subsidises bulk groceries and building material into roadless Alaskan communities. There is no cargo terminal, no customs facility and no freighter service; AKP is the end of a feeder line rather than a transfer point. No road reaches the village, and none ever will inside Gates of the Arctic National Park, so heavy loads travel on winter trails or not at all. Forwarders consolidate in Fairbanks (FAI) or work out of Deadhorse (SCC) when serving the wider North Slope.
