Remote Arctic Alaska airport serving the small Inupiat community of Atqasuk.

Location

Atqasuk, United States

Atqasuk Edward Burnell Sr Memorial Airport (IATA: ATK, ICAO: PATQ) is a small general aviation and commuter airport located in Atqasuk, a remote Inupiat Eskimo community on Alaska's North Slope, approximately 60 miles south of Barrow (Utqiagvik). The airport serves as a critical lifeline for the village, which has no road connections to the broader Alaska highway system, making air transport essential for passengers, mail, and freight. The airport is named in honor of Edward Burnell Sr., a respected community figure. It is owned and operated by the North Slope Borough and handles a small volume of scheduled commuter flights primarily connecting Atqasuk to Utqiagvik. The facility operates in extreme Arctic conditions, with temperatures that can drop well below -40°F in winter.

Terminals

The airport has a small, basic terminal facility consistent with its status as a remote rural commuter airport serving a village of fewer than 300 residents.

Getting to & from
