Atqasuk Edward Burnell Sr Memorial Airport guide

Atqasuk Edward Burnell Sr. Memorial Airport (ICAO PATQ) serves the Iñupiat village of Atqasuk on the Meade River, on Alaska's Arctic coastal plain. No road connects the village to the Alaska road system, so the airstrip is its year-round link to the rest of the North Slope. Fuel and supplies also arrive by air and, seasonally, by barge.

The airport has one gravel runway, 7/25, measuring 4,370 by 90 feet at an elevation of 96 feet. It has medium-intensity edge lights, runway end identifiers and a two-light PAPI at each end. The North Slope Borough owns it. The field is uncontrolled and sits about one mile south of the village.

Wright Air Service flies scheduled passenger service to Utqiagvik and Wainwright. The FAA recorded 1,810 passenger boardings here in 2024, down slightly from 1,833 in 2023. Utqiagvik, the borough seat, lies about 60 miles to the north.
