About McGrath Airport

McGrath Airport is a public airport serving the community of McGrath in interior Alaska. It is owned by the State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and has served the area since 1947, providing an essential air link for a remote region with limited road access.

Located immediately west of the town, the airport is roughly one kilometre from central McGrath, so transfers into town typically take only a few minutes. Scheduled air service, charters and freight operators connect McGrath with Anchorage and other Alaska communities, while general aviation supports supply runs, medical travel and access to surrounding villages.

The airfield has a paved main runway and a shorter gravel runway, together with a small passenger terminal, aircraft parking areas, fuel services and light aircraft maintenance. There is no control tower, and commercial flights are operated with small regional aircraft.

For residents and visitors, McGrath Airport remains an important year-round gateway, including for travel linked to Iditarod Trail events and nearby wilderness destinations. Travelers should plan around limited flight schedules and changing weather conditions.
