Kotlik Airport (IATA: KOT, ICAO: PFKO) is a state-owned public airport serving Kotlik, a Yup'ik village in Alaska's Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta near the Bering Sea coast. It has a gravel runway and is essential for year-round access, as Kotlik is not connected to Alaska's road network. The airport primarily supports scheduled regional flights, cargo, and emergency services.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to pack light and flexible: small aircraft can be weight-limited, and weather in the delta can cause quick cancellations or delays. Keep a backup plan and confirm flight status by phone or radio, as online updates may be sparse.
🚖 Getting There
Kotlik is not accessible by road, so visitors arrive by scheduled small aircraft, charter, boat, or snowmachine depending on the season. The airport is a short distance from the village center, but there is no taxi or rental car service, so arrange a local pickup in advance. In winter, snowmachines are common; in summer, boats along the Yukon River delta are often used.
