About St Michael Airport
St Michael Airport is a state-owned, public-use airport serving the community of St Michael on the east side of St Michael Island in Norton Sound. Located about 2 miles west of the community, it provides an air connection for the Nome Census Area and surrounding region of western Alaska.
The airport operates a single gravel runway, 02/20, measuring 4,001 by 75 feet, and was activated in 1995. Its small scale reflects its role as a rural aviation link, used mainly for air taxi, cargo and regional flights rather than large commercial airline operations.
Ground access to St Michael is by local road, with a short drive of about 2 miles to the community. From there travelers can connect to other Norton Sound communities through regional air services.
Facilities are limited but functional, with runway lighting, a lighted wind indicator, aircraft tie-downs and an automated weather station. The airport functions as a compact gateway for residents, workers and visitors traveling to this part of western Alaska.
