Wrangell Airport
Wrangell Airport, coded WRG, serves the city of Wrangell on Wrangell Island in Southeast Alaska, an area accessible primarily by air and sea due to the rugged, roadless terrain typical of the Alaska Panhandle. The airport is a critical link for residents, connecting the community to Ketchikan, Juneau, and other Southeast Alaska towns via regional carriers.
