Some Calling The $77 Million Project 'The Airport For No
One'
An airport planned for a remote island between the Bearing Sea
and the Pacific Ocean is being ridiculed by some as an "airport for
no one," because it will be accessible only by helicopters or
hovercraft. The $77 million project is planned for the isolated
community of Akutan near the end of the Aleutian chain, but the
runway is not on the same island as the village.
