ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Anchorage Daily News) — Multiple Alaska villages have proposed banning or restricting passenger air travel in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Anchorage Daily News reported Friday that local air carrier Wright Air Service confirmed the company received letters from at least eight communities announcing the restrictions. Villages are also considering restrictions such as having travelers who arrive by plane self-isolate as tribal and city officials work to enforce measures protecting isolated Alaska Native communities from exposure. Some residents have argued that remote villages have difficulty getting emergency care or sending older patients to receive care in a timely basis.
