Minchumina Airport guide

Minchumina Airport (ICAO PAMH, FAA MHM) is a state-owned, public-use gravel airstrip serving Lake Minchumina, a remote community in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area of interior Alaska. The field covers 674 acres at an elevation of about 682 feet. It is also known as Lake Minchumina Airport.

The single gravel runway, 3/21, is about 4,200 feet long. There is no staffed passenger terminal and no road connects the community to the highway system, so the airstrip carries the area's mail, freight and passengers.

Wright Air Service flies scheduled service to Fairbanks International Airport under the federal Essential Air Service program, with the subsidy contract reaching two round trips a week. In 2013 the airport handled about 221 passengers, almost all on Wright. Aircraft operations were put at 1,140 for the 12 months ending December 2005, about 96 percent of them general aviation, and two aircraft were based on the field.
