FAI Airport Overview
Fairbanks International FAI Airport, known as the Gateway to the Interior and Denali National Park, is located close to downtown Fairbanks, AK. Early aviators in the Alaskan Territory frequently made do without proper landing strips, putting their airplanes down wherever there was a flat and clear patch of land. These days, Fairbanks’ modern facilities make flying to the Alaskan interior an easier proposition.

Fairbanks is also the commercial hub, the primary provider of goods and services, for northern Alaska – a vast, sparsely settled roadless region more than twice the size of California that’s reliably accessible only by air. Alaska Airlines offers year-round daily direct flights to locations in Alaska and the Lower 48, and several regional airlines provide service to Anchorage and interior rural communities. For a small hub airport, Fairbanks has remarkable passenger terminal facilities, including the capacity for U.S. Customs and Immigration processing of wide-body international passenger aircraft arrival. These facilities will be even better with the 2009 opening of the airport’s renovated and expanded passenger-friendly, amenity-rich terminal.

Whether it’s northern lights viewing in the winter, or gateway access to Denali National Park in the summer, Fairbanks International FAI airport is happy to provide a seamless connection to the Last Frontier.
