Atmautluak Airport guide

Atmautluak Airport serves the Yup'ik village of Atmautluak in the Bethel Census Area of southwest Alaska. The village sits on the tundra of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta and has no road link to Bethel or other communities, so the airstrip carries most passengers, mail and freight in and out. The field is at an elevation of 17 feet above sea level.

The airport has one gravel runway, 15/33, measuring 3,000 by 75 feet. The State of Alaska expanded it from an earlier 2,000 by 30 foot strip. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Central Region, owns the field. It has no control tower and no published instrument approaches, and pilots use the common traffic frequency 122.9. Its codes are ATT (IATA), PAAB (ICAO) and 4A2 (FAA).

Scheduled air taxi flights link Atmautluak with Bethel, Kasigluk and Nunapitchuk, and with Marshall and St. Mary's. Grant Aviation, Ryan Air Services and Yute Commuter Service operate the routes. The FAA recorded 4,763 passengers in 2015, up from 2,613 boardings in 2007.
