Remote Alaskan bush airport serving Aleknagik community.

Location
Aleknagik, United States
Aleknagik / New Airport (WKK) is a small general aviation facility located in Aleknagik, a small community in the Bristol Bay region of southwestern Alaska. The airport serves as a vital transportation link for local residents who rely on air travel for access to supplies, medical services, and connections to larger regional hubs such as Dillingham. The airport is owned and operated by the State of Alaska and features a gravel runway suited to small bush aircraft. Like many rural Alaskan airports, it plays a critical role in the day-to-day life of the community, which is not accessible by road from major population centers.

The airport has no formal terminal building; passenger facilities are minimal, consistent with a remote bush airstrip.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited given Aleknagik's remote location and lack of road connections to major regional centers.
