Sleetmute Airport guide

Sleetmute Airport is a state-owned, public-use airport serving Sleetmute, a village on the east bank of the Kuskokwim River in the Bethel Census Area of southwest Alaska. Its codes are SLQ (IATA), PASL (ICAO) and SLQ (FAA). The field sits at 190 feet above sea level on about 145 acres.

The airport has one gravel runway, 14/32, measuring 3,100 by 60 feet. AirNav reports the first 500 feet are soft, with soft spots along the rest of the surface. Medium-intensity edge lights and a beacon operate from sunset to sunrise, and pilots activate the lights through the common traffic frequency. The field is unattended.

Sleetmute is off the road system, so the airstrip is the village's year-round link to the outside. Ryan Air Services flies scheduled service to Aniak and Stony River. Aniak lies about 79 miles to the west, and Bethel is 166 miles to the southwest.
