Location

Fire Island Airport (ICAO: 6AK5) is a small, private-use airstrip located on Fire Island, a narrow barrier island situated in Cook Inlet west of Anchorage, Alaska. The airport serves as a basic landing facility for light aircraft accessing the island, which is accessible only by air or water.
Fire Island is perhaps best known for its wind farm, which began generating power for the Anchorage area. The airstrip supports occasional private and utility flights related to island operations, including maintenance of the wind energy facility.
The airport has no commercial airline service, no terminal facilities, and no IATA code assigned. It is a minimal, unpaved or gravel strip used primarily by bush pilots and operators with business on the island.
