Kodiak Airport — Kodiak, United States

Kodiak Airport, on Kodiak Island off the southern coast of Alaska, runs three runways at 78 feet above sea level, more than most airports of similar size and a reflection of Kodiak's role as a significant regional center for a large island chain. Kodiak Island itself ranks among the largest islands in the United States, and much of its population and infrastructure centers on the city the airport serves. Anchorage and the rest of Alaska connect to the island through this field, which supports both commercial fishing operations and the everyday travel needs of island residents.
