Mekoryuk Airport

Mekoryuk Airport (IATA: MYU, ICAO: PAMY) is a small public-use airport located in Mekoryuk, the only permanent settlement on Nunivak Island in the Bethel Census Area of western Alaska. The airport serves as a critical lifeline for the local Cup'ik Yupik community, providing the primary means of transportation to and from the island, which is surrounded by the Bering Sea. The airport features a single gravel runway and handles small general aviation and commuter aircraft. It is owned by the State of Alaska and plays an essential role in delivering passengers, mail, and supplies to this remote island community. Air travel is the only practical means of access, as there are no road connections or regular ferry services to the mainland. The surrounding area is part of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, and Nunivak Island is also home to herds of musk oxen and reindeer. Passenger volumes are very low, consistent with the small population of Mekoryuk, which numbers only a few hundred residents.
