Napaskiak Airport guide

Napaskiak Airport (ICAO PAPK, FAA PKA) is a public-use gravel airstrip about one nautical mile southwest of Napaskiak, a Yup'ik village on the Kuskokwim River in the Bethel Census Area of Alaska. It sits at an elevation of 24 feet. The village has no road link to the rest of the state, so the airstrip is a main year-round connection to Bethel, the hub of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.

The airport has one active gravel runway, 2/20, which measures 3,000 feet by 60 feet. A seaplane waterway on the Kuskokwim River, 9W/27W, is also charted. The FAA lists the field as unattended, with no control tower and no passenger building. The runway floods in spring.

The FAA classes Napaskiak as a general aviation facility in its National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. Its last published passenger count is 1,321 boardings in 2008, down from 1,858 in 2007. The state of Alaska owns the airport and the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities Central Region runs it.
