About White Mountain Airport
White Mountain Airport is a small, publicly owned airport serving the village of White Mountain on Alaska's Seward Peninsula. Activated in July 1951 and managed by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities, it provides an essential air link for a remote community with no road connection to the regional road system.
The airport lies about 1 mile north of the village and is reached mainly by air, boat, or snow machine. Scheduled and charter regional flights connect White Mountain with Nome, the regional hub roughly 63 miles to the southwest, and with other nearby communities on the Seward Peninsula.
Its infrastructure is modest: a single 3,000-foot gravel runway designated 15/33, a small passenger terminal and waiting area, and no control tower. The airport is unattended, so travelers should confirm arrival and departure details with their airline or operator.
Because road access is limited, most onward travel is by small aircraft, with Nome offering the nearest full range of services, connections, and amenities. Despite its size, the airport plays a key role in year-round access to White Mountain.
