Kaltag Airport guide

Kaltag Airport (ICAO PAKV, FAA KAL) is a state-owned, public-use gravel airstrip one nautical mile southwest of the centre of Kaltag, a village on the west bank of the Yukon River in interior Alaska. The field sits at an elevation of 181 feet and has no control tower. The FAA lists its activation as June 1963.

The single runway, 3/21, is 3,986 feet long and 100 feet wide. Its gravel surface is rated in good condition but soft when wet, and the edges carry medium-intensity lights. Pilots use the common traffic advisory frequency 122.9. There is no staffed passenger terminal.

Kaltag has no road link to the wider state network, so the airstrip carries passengers, mail and freight to the region. Wright Air Service flies scheduled small-aircraft service to Fairbanks, Galena, Nulato and Ruby. The village is about 120 kilometres west of Galena.
