Remote Alaska hub serving the Huslia village community.

Location
Huslia, United States
Huslia Airport (IATA: HSL, ICAO: PAHL) is a small public-use airport located in Huslia, a rural village in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area of Alaska, United States. It serves as a vital lifeline for the community, providing air access to a village not connected to the broader road network. The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and operates primarily as a general aviation and air taxi facility. Regional carriers provide scheduled service linking Huslia to larger hubs such as Fairbanks, supporting mail delivery, cargo, and passenger travel for local residents. Given Huslia's remote location along the Koyukuk River, the airport is essential for medical evacuations, supply transport, and community connectivity, especially during the harsh Alaska winters when river and overland travel is limited.
Terminals
The airport has no formal terminal building; passenger facilities are minimal, consistent with rural Alaska bush airports.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited, as Huslia has no road connections to the state highway system; local vehicles and ATVs serve immediate needs.
