Formally known as Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, is an airport situated four miles southwest of downtown Anchorage, Alaska. The airport got its name from the current and long standing US senator Ted Stevens, and is the center for Alaska Airlines. Alaska Airlines’ majority of passengers and flights are to Seattle or Tacoma, with an average of twenty flights per day to these destinations, and thirteen flights per day to Fairbanks.
During the 1960s and 1980s, Anchorage International Airport was a common stopover for passengers flying to East Asia because U.S. and Western European aircrafts could not fly over Soviet Airspace and also because they did not have the choices as modern day aircrafts have today.

It is the fourth busiest cargo airport in the world today, after Memphis, Hong Kong, and Tokyo-Narita.
