Minto Al Wright Airport guide

Minto Al Wright Airport is a state-owned, public-use airstrip serving the Athabaskan village of Minto in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area of interior Alaska. It sits about one nautical mile east of the village. Minto is reached by road only through the Minto Spur Road off the Elliott Highway, so the airstrip is the quick link to Fairbanks.

The airport has one gravel runway, 2/20, measuring 3,400 by 75 feet. Field elevation is about 500 feet above sea level. The State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Northern Region, owns and maintains it. It was known as Minto Airport until August 2009, when it was renamed for Al Wright, an Alaska aviation pioneer who grew up in Minto and founded Wright Air Service in Fairbanks.

Scheduled service is subsidized by the Essential Air Service program, with Warbelow's Air Ventures flying to Fairbanks and Manley Hot Springs. The FAA counted 294 enplaned passengers in 2010. Its codes are MNT (IATA), PAAF (ICAO) and 51Z (FAA).
