- ANC Airport Overview
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport ANC is located 4 miles SW of downtown Anchorage and was constructed in 1951. It presently covers 4,500 acres with 3 runways and serves as the gateway to the Alaskan Frontier, Hawaii and parts of the Far East, and Frankfurt, Germany (seasonal). The South Terminal--a domestic terminal with Concourses A & C--is mostly served by domestic airlines; however some of them have been routed to the International terminal. Its L Gates serve Era Aviation and PenAir to Alaskan destinations. The North Terminal--an international terminal--is host to overseas airlines from China, Russia, & Japan Korea, as well as seasonal Charters from Europe. A free shuttle runs between those two terminals. In 2005 the Alaska Legislature renamed Anchorage airport in honor of its long-serving US Senator Ted Stevens. FedEx and United Parcel Service maintain major hubs for their cargo heading to/from Far East. Even though the airport is receiving a yearly snowfall of 60 inches, it has managed to operate while others shut down, mostly due to an award-winning snow-removal personnel.
