Distance & flight time from AKP

Anaktuvuk Pass Airport

Anaktuvuk Pass Airport sits 2,102 feet above sea level within the village of Anaktuvuk Pass, located within Alaska's Brooks Range north of the Arctic Circle, its single runway serving one of the few remaining traditional Nunamiut communities in Alaska's interior. Higher in elevation than most Alaska bush airports, the field sits in a mountain pass rather than the flatter coastal or river-valley terrain common elsewhere in the state. No roads reach this remote settlement deep within the mountains, which makes the airport the village's only connection to the outside world.
