About Ugashik Airport

Ugashik Airport (IATA: UGS, FAA LID: 9A8) is a state-owned, public-use airport located about one nautical mile (2 km) north of Ugashik, a small community in the Lake and Peninsula Borough of Alaska.

The airport serves a remote part of the Alaska Peninsula and supports general aviation, air taxi and charter flights used by residents, visitors and fishing parties. It has a single gravel runway, 6/24, measuring approximately 3,100 by 60 feet, and sits at an elevation of about 44 feet.

Ugashik itself is reachable by air and water, and the airport is an important connection point for a community where local travel is often done by ATV or skiff. The airfield has no on-site fuel service or runway lighting, and operations are generally conducted under visual flight rules.

Because ground infrastructure in the area is limited, travelers should confirm onward transport and flight details with their air taxi or charter operator in advance. The airport nevertheless provides essential access for the village and the wider Bristol Bay region.
