Regularly-scheduled jet flights are available at the state-owned Fairbanks International Airport. An asphalt runway and a gravel landing strip, heliport, and seaplane landing area are available. A public seaplane base is also located on the Chena River. In addition, there are several privately-owned airstrips and heliports in the vicinity.
