Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport ANC was renamed in 2000 to honor its late U.S. Senator Ted Stevens. Aside from being one of the world’s busiest cargo airports, it serves as an important passenger gateway to the Alaskan Frontier, Hawaii, parts of the Far East, and Europe. It may be noted that even though Anchorage Airport receives an average yearly snowfall of 60 inches, it has managed to operate while other airports shut down, mostly due to its award-winning snow-removal personnel. Understandably, air traffic reaches its peak during the three summer months.

The Airport is located off Minnesota Drive, 4 nautical miles SW of downtown Anchorage, Alaska, and can be reached from either Glenn Hwy or Seward Hwy.

With three long runways and an estimated 5 million passengers a year, Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is hub to Alaska Airlines, and is served by a host of national and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe, as well as seasonal or charter flights.
