Nunapitchuk Airport guide

Nunapitchuk Airport (ICAO PPIT, FAA 16A) is a state-owned public-use airport serving Nunapitchuk, a Yup'ik village in the Bethel Census Area of southwestern Alaska. It sits about 1 mile northeast of the village, in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, where tundra and wetlands make air travel the main way in and out for much of the year.

The airport has one gravel runway, 18/36, listed at 2,420 by 75 feet by AirNav. Runway conditions are not maintained, and pilots are advised to inspect the surface before landing, and birds are reported near the field. A seaplane landing area, 3,000 by 300 feet, runs northeast to southwest. Field elevation is 12 feet above sea level.

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities owns and runs the field. Grant Aviation links Nunapitchuk with Bethel, the regional hub, for passengers, mail and freight. There is no terminal operator, no scheduled jet service and no ground transport at the airfield.
