Online Reviews Summary

Girdwood-Alyeska Airport (AQY) is a small, state-owned public-use airport primarily serving general aviation and air taxi operations, rather than typical commercial passenger flights. As such, extensive traveler reviews regarding terminal facilities, security, or customs are largely unavailable. Traveler sentiment is therefore more accurately reflected in its utility as a convenient access point to the Girdwood area and the Alyeska Resort for private and charter flyers.

What Travelers Love
  • Convenient Access to Alyeska Resort: The airport's proximity to Alyeska Resort (just a few miles away) makes it a direct and convenient arrival point for those utilizing private or charter flights to reach the resort.
  • Gateway to Girdwood Activities: For general aviation users, AQY serves as a direct entry point to Girdwood, a well-known destination for skiing, snowboarding, and various other year-round outdoor activities.
Common Complaints
  • Lack of Typical Commercial Airport Amenities: As a general aviation airport, Girdwood-Alyeska Airport (AQY) does not feature the array of terminal facilities, shops, restaurants, or passenger services commonly found at larger commercial airports.
  • Limited Direct Traveler Feedback: There is a notable absence of public traveler reviews specifically detailing experiences within the airport itself, reflecting its role as a non-commercial facility.
  • Runway Conditions: Remarks from the FAA indicate that runway conditions are unmaintained, with a recommendation for visual inspection before landing, and mention of overgrown areas.

In summary, Girdwood-Alyeska Airport (AQY) primarily caters to general aviation and air taxi services, offering a practical direct link to the Alyeska Resort and the recreational opportunities of Girdwood. Travelers seeking a traditional commercial airport experience with extensive amenities and services will likely find AQY to be very limited, as its design and purpose are not geared towards this type of travel.
