ANC Airport Information
Even at the airport you will find things you might not find in other places. What other airport offers reindeer hot dogs? Take a look around and you will find a rich history depicting a culture that while certainly American also has a distinct heritage of its own. While you are unlikely to meet any Inuit at the airport (though you might), ANC is your gateway to the only state that provides such firsthand information about their historic (and still continuing) culture and help you make your way into their part of the world.
Also serving as one of the world’s largest commercial cargo hubs, the ANC has performed with distinction and knows how to take care of people as well as freight. For decades, it was the stopover of choice for people going to and from East Asia, and it still serves as a first-tier wait station between the Orient and Occident. So, even though Anchorage International Airport is located on the edge of civilization, it is surprisingly multicultural, accommodating people of all sorts of backgrounds. With three clearly marked, easily navigable terminals, you can be assured of a hassle-free experience.
It serves for Russian airlines and also a major cargo hub for companies such as FedEx Express and UPS Airlines. Anchorage International Airport serves major airlines such as Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Sun Country and US Airways. It also serves both the Port of Anchorage and the Seward Harbor for those who are going on an Alaskan cruise.
