About Shageluk Airport
Shageluk Airport is a small, state-owned public-use airport serving the remote village of Shageluk in Alaska's Yukon-Koyukuk region, near the Innoko River. It provides an essential air link for residents and visitors in an area with very limited road access.
Located about one mile north of the village, the airport operates a single gravel runway, 16/34, measuring 3,400 by 75 feet (1,036 by 23 metres), along with a water runway on the Innoko River for floatplane operations. The facility is owned and maintained by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities.
Scheduled and charter flights connect Shageluk with nearby communities and regional hubs, making the airport important for passenger travel, freight, and mail in this roadless part of Alaska. There is no large passenger terminal; operations are simple and focused on small aircraft.
Ground access between the airport and the village is short but can be affected by weather and seasonal conditions. Travelers should plan transfers in advance because public transport, taxis, and car rental are generally not available.
