A new state drug enforcement report shows that most illegal drugs seized in Alaska last year entered the state through Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
According to the Alaska Department of Public Safety, hundreds of pounds of narcotics were intercepted at the airport in 2025, including significant amounts of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and heroin. Officials say Anchorage’s role as a major cargo and passenger hub makes it a key entry point for drug trafficking into Alaska.
Law enforcement agencies have increased interdiction efforts at the airport and through mail shipments, working alongside federal partners to slow the flow of illicit substances into communities across the state.
