About Unalakleet Airport
Unalakleet Airport is a state-owned, public-use airport serving Unalakleet, a small community on Norton Sound in western Alaska. The village is not connected to the road system, making the airport an essential link for passengers, freight, mail and medical travel to regional centres such as Nome and Anchorage.
The airport sits about 2 km north of the village centre and has two asphalt runways. Scheduled flights are operated mainly by regional carriers including Bering Air and Ravn Alaska, with connections to Nome, Anchorage and nearby villages such as Shaktoolik, St. Michael and Stebbins.
Passenger facilities are compact and practical rather than extensive. The small terminal area offers basic check-in, waiting and restroom facilities, and boarding is generally arranged directly from the terminal to the aircraft.
Because of its remote location, transportation around the airport is simple: the village is only a short taxi ride or drive away, and local arrangements are typically made for pickup at the terminal. The airport remains a vital hub for daily life and travel across the Norton Sound region.
