Remote Alaska hub serving the Native village of Elim.

Location
Elim, United States
Elim Airport (IATA: ELI, ICAO: PFEL) is a small public-use airport located in Elim, a Native Alaskan village situated on the south shore of Norton Sound in Nome Census Area, Alaska. The airport serves as a vital transportation link for the remote community, which has no road connection to the broader Alaskan highway system. The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and operated to provide essential air access for residents, cargo, and emergency services. Small regional aircraft are the primary users of the facility, connecting Elim to Nome and other villages in the region. Given the remote Arctic environment, the airport plays a critical role in delivering supplies, medical evacuations, and mail to the approximately 300 residents of Elim. Winter conditions and coastal weather can significantly affect operations.
Terminals
The airport has no formal terminal building; passenger facilities are minimal, consistent with a small rural Alaskan bush airstrip.
Getting to & from
There is no formal ground transportation network; residents typically use ATVs or snowmobiles to reach the airstrip from the village.
Airlines here
Regional carriers such as Bering Air provide scheduled and charter service connecting Elim to Nome and surrounding communities.
