About Unalakleet Airport

Unalakleet Airport, identified by IATA code UNK and ICAO code PAUN, is a state-owned facility operated under the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities.

Its primary paved runway of 1,524 m (5,000 ft) comfortably accommodates turboprops and light jets, making it well-suited for the aircraft categories most commonly chartered into western Alaska. The terminal is modest but functional, supporting both scheduled regional services and private charter operations. As a domestic facility, customs and immigration requirements apply only for internationally originating flights, which are handled through coordination with US Customs and Border Protection in advance.
