Beaver Airport guide

Beaver Airport (ICAO PAWB, FAA WBQ) is a public-use gravel airstrip serving the village of Beaver, on the Yukon River in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area of Alaska. It sits at a surveyed elevation of 364 feet. The airport is unattended, has no fuel, and has no control tower.

The single gravel runway, 5/23, measures 3,934 by 75 feet. A road crosses the runway near the runway 5 threshold, so pilots check the surface before landing.

Warbelow's Air Ventures flies scheduled service to Fairbanks International Airport. Between May 2022 and April 2023 the airport handled 1,380 passengers, and Warbelow's carried almost all of them. Fairbanks accounted for 680 of those passengers and Stevens Village for 10. Aircraft operations were put at 800 a year, mostly general aviation with some air taxi flying.
