Fairbanks International Airport

Fairbanks International Airport, known as the Gateway to the Interior, is located close to downtown Fairbanks, AK. Early aviators in the Alaskan Territory frequently made do without proper landing strips, putting their airplanes down wherever there was a flat and clear patch of land. These days, Fairbanks' modern facilities make flying to the Alaskan interior an easier proposition. Cargo flights at the airport outnumber passenger flights, but a handful of passenger airlines and seasonal charter services are available. Alaska Airlines offers year-round daily direct flights to locations in Alaska and the Lower 48, and several regional airlines provide service to Anchorage and interior rural communities like Deadhorse and Prospect Creek. Also, Thomas Cook Tours charters Condor, Germany''s largest leisure-oriented airline, to provide weekly summer service between Fairbanks and Frankfurt.
