## Description

Wright Air Service is the lifeline of Arctic Village, the Gwich'in community that features in every debate over drilling in the neighbouring Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Arctic Village Airport (IATA: ARC, ICAO: PARC), on the East Fork Chandalar River at the southern edge of the Brooks Range, is the village's only year-round link. Wright Air flies from Fairbanks via Fort Yukon and Venetie; groceries, fuel and spare parts all arrive as Bypass Mail on the gravel runway. No road reaches the village, so every box that lands matters. The Porcupine caribou herd that calves in the refuge remains central to local diet and culture.
