Unalakleet Airport

Unalakleet Airport, designated UNK, serves the coastal community of Unalakleet in western Alaska, situated along the Bering Sea near the mouth of the Unalakleet River. The airport functions as a regional hub for smaller surrounding villages, given the near-total absence of road connections across this remote stretch of Alaska. Cargo, mail, and passenger flights operated by regional Alaskan carriers rely heavily on UNK, particularly during winter months when other transport options become impractical. The community also holds significance along the historic Iditarod Trail sled dog race route. UNK's paved runway and steady traffic make it one of the more capable airports serving Alaska's remote western coastline.
