Air transportation facilities at Wake are operated by the [[United States Air Force]] at [[Wake Island Airfield]] in support of trans-Pacific military operations, western Pacific military contingency operations, and missile launch activities. The {{convert|9850|ft|m|adj=mid|abbr=off|-long|sp=us}} runway on Wake is also available to provide military and commercial in-flight emergency services. Although there is only one flight scheduled every other week to transport passengers and cargo to Wake, approximately 600 aircraft per year use Wake Island Airfield.<ref name="Lcweb2.loc.gov"/><ref name="static.e-publishing.af.mil"/>

In 2020, the runway and support facilities were modernized.<ref>{{Cite web |title=AFCEC leads major airfield modernization at Wake Island Airfield |url=https://www.dvidshub.net/news/389954/afcec-leads-major-airfield-modernization-wake-island-airfield |access-date=March 9, 2024 |website=DVIDS |language=en |archive-date=March 9, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240309165639/https://www.dvidshub.net/news/389954/afcec-leads-major-airfield-modernization-wake-island-airfield |url-status=live }}</ref>
