Nulato Airport guide

Nulato Airport (ICAO PANU) serves the Athabascan village of Nulato on the Yukon River in interior Alaska. It sits about 2 km northeast of the village centre. No road connects Nulato to the state road network, so the airport is the main year-round link for passengers, mail and freight.

The FAA lists the field as activated in September 1947. The State of Alaska owns it and the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Northern Region, manages it. It is a public-use airport and the FAA classes it as a non-primary commercial service airport.

There is one gravel runway of about 4,000 by 100 feet, with medium-intensity edge lights. Wright Air Service carries passengers, and Astral Aviation flies cargo. The busiest routes in 2023 were Fairbanks, with 1,160 passengers, and Galena, with 1,030 passengers. There is no airport shuttle, rental car desk or parking operator on site.
