The cargo airline Cargolux has planned Fairbanks as a fixed stopover airport only for refueling for certain transatlantic flights; other cargo airlines also only land here to bunker kerosene. There is no railway or S-Bahn connection at the airport. Another special feature is an artificial water area that is set up for take-offs and landings of seaplanes .
