Airport contact
EAS-subsidized airport; Alaska Airlines 737 (700/800) 2x weekly (Wed/Sat) to Anchorage, sole scheduled passenger link and the westernmost scheduled passenger service in the US. Time zone corrected to Hawaii-Aleutian (HAST/HADT), the Aleutian exception — the original 'AKT' was wrong. pax.annual=5060 is TOTAL passengers (enplanements + deplanements) for Oct 2024–Sept 2025 per Wikipedia; FAA enplanements-only were ~2,179 in CY2024, so interpret this figure as total throughput, not boardings.
