Remote Alaska bush airport serving the Allakaket community.

Location
Allakaket, United States
Allakaket Airport (IATA: AET, ICAO: PFAL) is a small general aviation and bush-service airport located in Allakaket, a remote village in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area of interior Alaska. The airport serves as a critical lifeline for the community, providing access to medical care, supplies, and transportation in a region with no road connections to the broader Alaska highway system. The airport is owned and operated by the State of Alaska and primarily supports small aircraft operations by regional bush carriers. It plays an essential role in the daily life of Allakaket's predominantly Alaska Native (Koyukon Athabascan) population, which numbers fewer than 200 residents. Given its remote location and the harsh subarctic climate of interior Alaska, the airport must contend with extreme cold, ice, and challenging flying conditions throughout much of the year.
