About Girdwood Airport
Girdwood Airport is a small state-owned public-use airport serving Girdwood, Alaska, and the surrounding Turnagain Arm area. It supports general aviation and provides a local air access point for the community and the nearby Alyeska Resort.
The airport sits about three miles northeast of central Girdwood and roughly 40 miles south of Anchorage along the Seward Highway. It features a single gravel runway, Runway 2/20, approximately 2,095 feet long, and operates without a control tower or scheduled commercial airline service.
Because it is a general aviation facility, the airport mainly accommodates private aircraft, with parking and tie-downs available for visiting pilots. There are no large passenger terminals or regular commercial check-in areas.
Girdwood is best known as the home of Alyeska Resort, and visitors typically reach the town by road from Anchorage or by general aviation into Girdwood Airport. From the airport, the drive into Girdwood and up to the resort is short, and the Seward Highway connects the area to Anchorage, Whittier, and the Kenai Peninsula.
