Toksook Bay Airport guide

Toksook Bay Airport (ICAO PAOO, FAA OOK) is a public-use gravel airstrip about one nautical mile east of Toksook Bay, a Yup'ik village on Nelson Island in the Bethel Census Area of western Alaska. The village had 658 residents at the 2020 census, and the airport is its link to the rest of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, where no roads connect the communities to Bethel.

The airport covers about 82 acres at an elevation of 71 feet. It has one runway, 16/34, with a gravel and dirt surface listed at 3,200 feet long and 75 feet wide. Pilots turn on the medium-intensity edge lights, REILs, PAPIs and rotating beacon by radio on the common traffic frequency. There is no control tower and no fuel service.

Grant Aviation and Ryan Air fly scheduled service to Bethel, Mekoryuk and Tununak. The FAA counted 4,583 passenger boardings in 2006 and 4,875 in 2007.
