Description: Adak Airport is a State of Alaska owned and maintained certificated airport and has two asphalt paved runways. The community participates in the Essential Air Services program, which helps funds commercial air flights. Alaska Airlines operates passenger and cargo jet service. There are three deep water docks and fueling facilities and additional facilities that service the fishing industry. In 2006, a 315 foot sheet pile dock was installed, and in 2011 dredging of the harbor basin and entrance was completed. In 2014, plans were in place to expand the basin of Sweeper Cove Small Boat Harbor and install moorage floats, vessel haul-out capabilities, new breakwaters and utility services. This project will go forward as funding is secured. There is no harbormaster for the Adak Small Boat Harbor, but there is a private harbormaster for the other docks. Adak has approximately 16 miles of paved roads, as well as gravel and dirt roads.
