About security at Central Airport
Central Airport (CEM) serves Central, AK. It is a small airport where the security line is usually short outside the busiest departure windows, which shapes how the wait behaves: expect the longest lines when several departures cluster in the same hour, and much shorter ones in between.
If you hold TSA PreCheck, confirm lane status on arrival — PreCheck lanes are not staffed at every hour, particularly early in the morning and late in the evening.
The number above is measured for the standard lane and refreshed continuously. Waits can change quickly at CEM, so recheck this page shortly before you leave for the airport.
