Quinhagak Airport guide

Quinhagak Airport (ICAO PAQH, FAA AQH), also called Kwinhagak Airport, is a public-use gravel airstrip about two nautical miles east of Quinhagak, a Yup'ik village on the Kanektok River in the Bethel Census Area of Alaska. It sits at an elevation of about 42 feet, close to the coast of Kuskokwim Bay. No road links Quinhagak to the rest of the state, so the airstrip is the village's year-round connection to Bethel and the regional network.

The single gravel runway, 12/30, measures 4,000 by 75 feet and has medium-intensity edge lights. It was lengthened from an earlier 2,600 by 60 foot strip. The Federal Aviation Administration records the airport as active since June 1963. There is no staffed passenger terminal.

Scheduled air taxi service runs between Quinhagak and Bethel, with Eek as a secondary connection. Yute Commuter Service and Grant Aviation have both served the route. In the 12 months from July 2010 to June 2011, about 4,000 passengers flew between Quinhagak and Bethel and about 1,000 flew between Quinhagak and Eek.
