## Description

Alaska Air Cargo flies more than a million pounds of seafood out of Kodiak each year — halibut, salmon, cod and crab from one of America's premier fishing harbors. Kodiak Airport (IATA: ADQ, ICAO: PADQ), officially Benny Benson State Airport, links the second-largest island in the United States to Anchorage with several daily Alaska Airlines flights, the freight riding as belly load while barges handle heavy cargo. The field logged roughly 86,600 enplanements in 2024, and from May 2025 Alaska Airlines is expanding the terminal and baggage area to ease growing passenger and cargo traffic. Next to the runway sits the largest US Coast Guard base, and the Pacific Spaceport Complex to the north launches small rockets into polar orbits. The airport honors Benny Benson, who designed the Alaska state flag in 1927 at age thirteen.
