Remote West Texas airport serving the Permian Basin region.

Location
Wink, United States
Winkler County Airport (IATA: INK, ICAO: KINK) is a public-use general aviation airport located near Wink, Texas, in Winkler County. Situated in the heart of the Permian Basin oil country, the airport primarily serves general aviation traffic, private aircraft, and oil industry operations rather than scheduled commercial airline service. The airport sits at an elevation of approximately 2,914 feet above mean sea level in the arid West Texas landscape. It features runways capable of accommodating a range of general aviation and charter aircraft, serving the energy sector and local community in this sparsely populated region.
