- History of aviation in Alaska
"Main article: History of Alaska"
Aviation has occupied a unique position in Alaska since it was first introduced. A largely roadless state, air service to the Interior allowed for the influx of settlers, the year-round contact of villages with the state's major population centers and services, and rapid transportation of people and goods throughout the state.
