Regards, Scott It is a cargo hub, freighters fly with higher takeoff weights than passenger aircraft usually, and ice on runways is standard in winter time.
January 25, 20188 yr Just out of curiosity, why is PANC a freight hub? Thanks. Bruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened." Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

In the old days passenger aircraft needed it as a fuel stop, today cargo airlines still use it as a fuel stop to pack their aircraft full of freight but only need enough fuel to get to Anchorage saving weight.
January 25, 20188 yr 11 hours ago, brucewtb said: Just out of curiosity, why is PANC a freight hub? Thanks. Bruceb Because freight does not care if there is a delay getting to destination because you stop for fuel. This allows the flight to start at origin with more payload (revenue) and less fuel. Passengers would prefer not to make fuel stops, so they end of paying much more per pound to make that trip than freight earns. The Fedex B77L that goes from Memphis to Bangkok either must make a fuel stop or end up carrying very little cargo to allow for full tanks. There are side benefits as well, as mentioned there is a significant demand for airborne delivery to Alaska due to its remoteness. The fuel stop also provides an opportunity to shift cargo from one flight to another as in say a Hong Kong to Lexington trip is given a chance to move a pallet over to a Singapore to Ontario flight thus providing a way to move boxes from Hong Kong to Ontario.

Almost all the freight airplanes stay locked up on arrival and just get fuel, so they save time not having to clear customs. FedEx and UPS might be the only companies to load/unload some freight for different planes there.
January 26, 20188 yr The State of Alaska also offers the airlines significant deals on fuel and parking etc. i7-13700KF, 32gb DDR4 3200, RTX 4080, Win 11, MSFS 2024

Bruceb Also, I read something about PANC being 5,000? nm or less from 80? % of the world's population. it's because of Great Circle routes. I can't remember the exact distance figure, but it was interesting. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
