About Metro Field
Metro Field is a small, privately owned general aviation airport located about 2 miles south of downtown Fairbanks, Alaska. The airfield was activated in July 1967 and is used primarily for private and general aviation operations rather than scheduled commercial airline service.
The airport has a single runway, designated 6/24, with an asphalt and gravel surface measuring roughly 4,600 by 80 feet. Because it is a private-use facility, prior permission is required before landing, and the airport does not operate a control tower or commercial passenger terminal.
Fairbanks International Airport, which handles most scheduled commercial flights for the region, lies about 2 miles to the west. Metro Field therefore functions as a supporting general aviation facility for the Fairbanks area and Interior Alaska.
Ground access is short and direct, with downtown Fairbanks reachable in a few minutes by taxi, private transfer, or rental car. Travelers using Metro Field should arrange transportation and services in advance, since passenger amenities are limited on site.
