About Stebbins Airport

Stebbins Airport is a state-owned public-use airport serving Stebbins, a small community on the Norton Sound coast in the Nome Census Area of western Alaska. Opened in 1964, it provides essential air access to a village that is not connected to Alaska's road system.

The airport operates a single gravel runway, 05/23, measuring about 3,000 feet long and 60 feet wide, suitable for small aircraft, air taxis and charter flights. It has no control tower, and operations focus on scheduled regional flights, bush flying and freight serving the local area.

Located less than a mile northwest of the village center, the airport connects Stebbins with nearby communities such as St. Michael and Unalakleet, as well as the regional hub of Nome. Within the village, onward travel is typically by foot, ATV, snowmachine or local vehicle depending on the season.

Passenger facilities are basic, with a small waiting area and restrooms. The airport functions as a practical gateway for reaching Stebbins and surrounding Norton Sound communities rather than a large commercial hub.
