Chuathbaluk Airport guide

Chuathbaluk Airport (ICAO PACH, FAA 9A3) is a public-use gravel airstrip about one nautical mile northeast of Chuathbaluk, a Yup'ik and Athabascan village on the Kuskokwim River in the Bethel Census Area of Alaska. It covers 242 acres at an elevation of 243 feet. No road connects the village to the rest of the state, so the airstrip carries most passengers and freight in and out year-round.

The field has one gravel and dirt runway, 9/27, which is 3,401 feet long and 60 feet wide. There is no staffed terminal and no aircraft are based on the field.

Ryan Air Services and Paklook fly scheduled small-aircraft service to Aniak, with stops at Crooked Creek, Red Devil, Sleetmute and Stony River. Federal data for 2025 shows 441 passengers and 74,000 pounds of freight. Between April 2024 and March 2025, Paklook carried about 52 percent of passengers and Ryan Air about 48 percent. Aniak was the top destination, followed by Crooked Creek and Bethel.
