Brevig Mission Airport guide

Brevig Mission Airport (ICAO PFKT) is a state-owned, public-use gravel airport serving Brevig Mission, a Bering Sea village on the Seward Peninsula in the Nome Census Area of Alaska. It sits just east of the village at an elevation of about 35 feet and covers 344 acres. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Northern Region, owns and operates it.

The airport has two gravel runways. Runway 12/30 is 2,990 feet long and 100 feet wide, and runway 5/23 is 2,110 feet long and 75 feet wide. Both have medium-intensity edge lighting and are marked with lights and plastic markers. Runway 5/23 uses a left-hand traffic pattern.

Bering Air provides scheduled passenger service to Nome, Teller and Wales. The airport recorded 4,279 passengers in 2015, when Bering Air carried about 64 percent and Hageland Aviation the remainder. Freight that year totalled 784,000 pounds. No road links the village to Nome, so the airstrip is its main year-round connection.
