Aniak Airport — Aniak, United States

Aniak Airport, given the code ANI, lies at an elevation of 88 feet in the community of Aniak, Alaska, on the banks of the Kuskokwim River in the state's western interior. The field's single runway carries mostly small fixed-wing traffic rather than large jets. As a medium airport in a region with no connecting road system, ANI functions as an essential link for nearby villages, supporting flights that carry passengers, groceries, mail, and other supplies into an area that depends on the river and the air for access. Alaska's bush communities rely on fields exactly like this one to stay connected to Anchorage and the rest of the state.
