Mountain Village Airport guide

Mountain Village Airport (ICAO PAMO) serves the Yup'ik community of Mountain Village on the lower Yukon River in western Alaska. The village lies in the Kusilvak Census Area and has no road link to the rest of the state, so the airstrip is its main year-round connection to Bethel, St. Mary's and the neighbouring villages.

The airport has one gravel runway, 2/20, measuring 3,500 by 75 feet. It has medium-intensity edge lights and precision approach path indicators at both ends. There is no control tower, and pilots use the common traffic advisory frequency 122.9. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities owns the field through its Northern Region.

Scheduled service is flown by small commuter and air taxi operators. Wikipedia lists Grant Aviation flying to Bethel and St. Mary's and Ryan Air flying to St. Mary's. Bethel was the busiest route in the July 2010 to June 2011 period, with about 3,000 passengers, followed by St. Mary's with about 1,000.
