About Taylor Airport
Taylor Airport (TWE) is a small, privately owned airfield near Taylor, Alaska, on the Seward Peninsula. It was established in 1949 and primarily supports mining and general aviation activity in the remote Kougarok area.
The airport operates a single gravel runway, 16/34, measuring about 2,200 feet, with no control tower and no scheduled passenger services. It is located roughly three nautical miles southeast of Taylor and serves private aircraft traveling to this part of western Alaska.
The nearest regional center is Nome, about 87 miles to the south along the Nome-Taylor Highway, also known as the Kougarok Road. Travelers who reach the airfield by air can continue overland to Nome and other locations across the Seward Peninsula.
Because the airfield is unattended and used primarily for mining operations, landings require prior permission except in emergencies. Visitors should confirm access, fuel availability, and runway conditions before planning a trip.
