About Atlantic Aviation Fairbanks

Atlantic Aviation at Fairbanks International Airport is the primary FBO serving Alaska's interior, positioned at a critical refueling stop for transpacific flights routing between North America and Asia. The facility handles private charters, corporate aircraft, and relief flights that use Fairbanks as a technical stop, with U.S. Customs and Immigration available on site for international arrivals.

The terminal offers a conference room, crew lounge, and complimentary amenities including coffee, ice, and newspapers. The experienced line crew provides Jet A and avgas fueling, ramp handling, GPU and start assistance, and hangar or tie-down space. After-hours service is available by appointment with two hours' advance notice, which is standard for Alaska operations where staffing levels reflect seasonal demand.

Ground transportation coordination includes taxis, rental cars, and hotel arrangements, and the Atlantic Aviation team can recommend lodges, restaurants, and outdoor activities throughout the Fairbanks area. Preferred hotel partners offer discounted rates for Atlantic Aviation guests. For passengers visiting during winter, Fairbanks is one of the best locations in the world for viewing the northern lights, with aurora season running from September through April. Summer visitors find nearly 24 hours of daylight and access to Denali National Park, about two and a half hours south by road.

Fairbanks International has two runways, the longest at 10,300 feet, and sits at an elevation of 434 feet. The airport's infrastructure supports heavy aircraft operations, and Atlantic Aviation's fuel volume discounts and AvTrip loyalty points add value for operators who route through Fairbanks regularly.
