Adak Airport (IATA: ADK, ICAO: PADK, FAA LID: ADK), formerly Naval Air Station Adak, is a state-owned, public-use airport located west of Adak, on Adak Island in the U.S. state of Alaska. The airport is the farthest west for the entire United States at 176.64W.
As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 1,989 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, a decrease of 5.38% from the 2,102 enplanements in 2007. This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorizes it as a general aviation facility.
Adak's airport is one of the largest and most sophisticated airports in the Aleutian Islands. Built by the U.S. Navy for Naval air transport, the airport is a world-class facility consisting of a 7,800-foot (2,400 m) runway and a 7,600-foot (2,300 m) runway, equipped with an Instrument Landing System and glideslope which facilitate Instrument Flight Rules landings. Adak currently has scheduled jet service provided by Alaska Airlines. History
The military first developed an air station on Adak during World War II. Adak Army Airfield was used during the Aleutian Campaign by both USAAF and Naval Air units. Known units assigned were:
- 343d Fighter Group (March 7, 1943 – July 25, 1943)
- 28th Bombardment Group (March 14, 1943 – February 26, 1944)
- 42d Fighter Squadron (September 10 – December 12, 1942) (54th FG)
Adak was most recently run by the U.S. Navy as a deployment base for P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft, primarily to conduct antisubmarine warfare operations against submarines and surveillance of naval surface vessels of the former Soviet Union.
With the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, NAS Adak's operational viability as a front-line military installation began to wane, and in the mid-1990s a decision was made by the federal government to cease military flight operations there under the military's Base Realignment and Closure Program (BRAC). That decision made the land at NAS Adak eligible for transfer back to The Aleut Corporation. The military will remain on Adak, however, as part of its environmental monitoring and cleanup program.
Facilities and aircraft
Adak Airport has two asphalt paved runways: 5/23 is 7,790 by 200 feet (2,374 x 61 m) and 18/36 is 7,605 by 200 feet (2,318 x 61 m). For the 12-month period ending September 20, 2009, the airport had 155 aircraft operations, an average of 12 per month: 65% scheduled commercial, 32% general aviation, and 3% military.
Airline and destination
Airline service is subsidized by the Essential Air Service program. Alaska Airlines provides 2 flights weekly with Boeing 737 aircraft.

Reliable and efficient air transportation is important
for community operations on Adak. Adak's airport supports families and
businesses in the region. Adak is blessed with the largest and most sophisticated
airport in the Aleutian Islands…a multi million dollar facility
consisting of two, 78-hundred foot paved runways with advanced IFR electronic
navigation and weather reporting systems.
Additional airport support features include control tower
and terminal buildings, paved taxiways and aircraft parking areas, maintenance
hangers, and a fully equipped fire and crash station.

Adak's unique geographic location and local fishing resources
makes it the perfect location for a logistical base supporting commercial
and charter flights between Alaska and Eastern Asia and the Russian Far
East. In addition to refueling services, the island facilities include
hangers for aircraft maintenance, warehouses for storage of supplies and
equipment, and housing for personnel.
Currently, the US Department of Transportation ensures
that Adak receives proper scheduled air service from Anchorage and Cold
Bay, Alaska. Pen Air currently serves Adak with twice weekly service from
Anchorage, and a new carrier, Evergreen International is scheduled to
re-implement passenger jet and cargo service between Anchorage and Adak
shortly.
