About Chevak Airport
Chevak Airport is the public airport serving Chevak, a Cup'ik community in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta of western Alaska. Activated in 1973, it is owned by the State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and provides the village's primary air connection to the regional hub at Bethel. Located about one mile north of the central business district, the airport operates a single gravel runway used by small regional aircraft. Because there are no road connections to Bethel, scheduled air service is the main way residents and visitors travel between Chevak and the rest of the state. Regional carriers connect Chevak with Bethel, roughly 136 miles away by air, and with nearby villages such as Hooper Bay and Scammon Bay. From Bethel, travellers can continue to Anchorage and other destinations. As a small rural airport, facilities are simple, with a compact passenger area and no control tower. Passengers should confirm flight details with their carrier and be ready for weather-related schedule changes common in the region.
