About May Creek Airport
May Creek Airport is a small public-use airport serving the community of May Creek in the Valdez-Cordova Census Area of Alaska. It lies about one nautical mile, or roughly 2 km, south of May Creek and provides a useful landing point for general aviation and air taxi travel through the Wrangell-St. Elias region.
Opened in 1950, the airport has a single turf/gravel runway, Runway 13/31, measuring approximately 2,700 by 100 feet. The airfield is unattended and has no control tower or passenger terminal, so flight arrangements and ground services are handled directly with pilots or air operators.
Road access runs beside the airfield and connects May Creek with the McCarthy Road corridor and nearby destinations such as McCarthy and Kennecott. This makes the airport a practical entry point for visitors heading into Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and the surrounding backcountry.
Because May Creek is a remote airstrip, travelers should expect limited facilities and plan ground transportation, fuel, and supplies in advance.
