Emmonak Airport

Emmonak Airport (IATA: EMK, ICAO: PAEM) is a small public-use airport located in Emmonak, a village in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of western Alaska. It serves as a vital transportation link for the community, which has no road connections to the broader Alaska highway system. The airport supports essential air service for passengers, mail, and cargo deliveries to this remote village of approximately 800 residents. It is owned by the state of Alaska and operated as part of the rural Alaska airport network managed by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. Aircraft operations here are primarily small commuter and cargo planes suited to the short gravel runway. Weather conditions in the Yukon Delta can be challenging, with fog, snow, and strong winds frequently affecting flight schedules.
