New Stuyahok Airport guide

New Stuyahok Airport (ICAO PANW, FAA and IATA KNW) is a public-use gravel airstrip serving New Stuyahok, a Yup'ik village on the Nushagak River in the Dillingham Census Area of southwest Alaska. The village had 512 residents at the 2020 census. The airport sits at an elevation of 364 feet, about one nautical mile west of the village center.

The airport has a single runway, 14/32, which is 3,281 feet long and 98 feet wide. The surface is gravel. The field opened at its current site in 2006, replacing an older strip about a mile to the east with an 1,800 by 50 foot runway. There is no control tower. Pilots use the common traffic advisory frequency 122.9 MHz.

No road links the village to Dillingham, so the airport carries most passengers and freight in and out of the community. Grant Aviation flies scheduled Cessna 208 service to Dillingham, where travelers connect to Anchorage. Passenger facilities are limited to a basic shelter with no ticket counter. The FAA lists the field as a general aviation airport. It recorded 781 enplanements in 2008. The State of Alaska owns the airport.
