Tuntutuliak Airport guide

Tuntutuliak Airport (IATA WTL, ICAO PAAJ, FAA A61) is a state-owned, public-use gravel airstrip about one nautical mile (2 km) south of the town of Tuntutuliak. The town lies in the Bethel Census Area of southwestern Alaska. The field sits at an elevation of 16 feet above mean sea level.

The airport has a single runway, 2/20, with a gravel surface. Published figures put it at about 3,025 feet long. The ends are marked with cones and reflective markers, and a runway end identifier light system is installed. There is no control tower and no fuel on the field, so pilots announce their own traffic.

Grant Aviation flies scheduled service to Bethel. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Central Region, owns the field. In the 12 months ending August 2008 the airport recorded 390 aircraft operations, about 32 a month. Of these, 87 percent were air taxi flights and 13 percent were general aviation. Published sources give no passenger totals, and no staffed passenger terminal is recorded.
