Location

Elim, United States

Moses Point Airport is a small general aviation and air taxi facility located near Elim, a small Yup'ik Eskimo community on the Seward Peninsula in western Alaska. The airport serves as a critical lifeline for residents, providing access to supplies, medical transport, and connectivity to larger hubs such as Nome. The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and operates under both the IATA and ICAO code MOS.

The airport supports the subsistence lifestyle of Elim's approximately 300 residents.
