Brevig Mission Airport (KTS/PFKT) is a state-owned public-use gravel runway serving Brevig Mission, a predominantly Inupiat village on the Seward Peninsula in western Alaska. Located near Port Clarence and roughly 65 miles northwest of Nome, it is the village's primary year-round link for passengers, mail, and light freight. The airport has a single gravel runway and basic facilities, and operations are heavily weather-dependent.
💡 Local Tip
Pack for rapid weather changes and expect gravel-runway conditions: footwear that handles mud, dust, or snow is more useful than rolling luggage. Also check local alcohol restrictions before bringing any beverages into the village.
