Approximately half of Alaska's visitors arrive by air, and much travel within the state is aboard planes of all sizes, from Boeing 737s to tiny two-seat Super Cubs. Major air carriers with service to Alaska include Alaska Airlines, American, America West, Canada 3000, Continental, Delta, Korean Air, Northwest, and United. The primary entry point for air travelers is Anchorage International Airport , with nonstop summertime flights from Chicago, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, San Jose, and Seattle. Direct jet service from Seattle is also available to Ketchikan, Juneau, and Fairbanks.
Air carriers offer nonstop international flights to Anchorage from Vancouver, Seoul, and Tokyo.
Winter service is reduced, but includes Seattle, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Seoul. More than 20 air taxi companies offer scheduled commercial flights to even the most remote Alaskan villages. In addition to scheduled service, nearly 400 licensed operators offer charter flights to remote locations around Alaska.
