Southeast Alaska's gateway serving the island city of Wrangell.

Location

Wrangell, United States

Wrangell Airport is a small public airport located on Wrangell Island in the Alexander Archipelago of Southeast Alaska. It serves as the primary air access point for the City and Borough of Wrangell, a community accessible only by air or sea due to the absence of connecting road infrastructure. The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and operated under the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. It handles scheduled regional passenger service as well as general aviation, charter, and cargo flights essential to the island community. The facility has a single runway and is equipped to handle small turboprop regional aircraft. Given Wrangell's remote location amid the temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska, the airport plays a critical logistical role for residents, healthcare access, and freight delivery.

Terminals

The airport features a single small terminal building with basic passenger amenities suited to a remote community airport.

Getting to & from

Ground transportation from the airport to downtown Wrangell is limited, with taxi service and personal vehicles being the primary options on the small island.

Airlines here

Alaska Airlines subsidiary Alaska Seaplanes and regional carriers such as Alaska Airlines (via code-share arrangements) have provided scheduled service to Wrangell.
