The Andersen Air Force Base in Guam Space-A terminal hosts incoming and outgoing flights to-and-from several locations for active and retired military and their families. Andersen AFB is part of the Patriot Express route from Seattle, WA that also flies to Kadena AB, Okinawa, Japan. You can also find flights to and from Joint-Base Pearl Harbor, HI almost regularly.
