Location
Kongiganak, United States
Kongiganak Airport (IATA: KKH, ICAO: PADY) is a small public-use airport located in Kongiganak, a remote Yup'ik Eskimo village in the Bethel Census Area of western Alaska. The airport serves as a critical lifeline for the community, providing the only practical means of transportation to and from the outside world, as there are no roads connecting Kongiganak to other towns.
The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and features a single gravel runway. It primarily handles small propeller-driven aircraft operated by regional bush carriers that connect the village to the regional hub of Bethel. Air travel is essential for the delivery of mail, supplies, and medical transport for local residents.
Terminals
The airport has no formal terminal building in the traditional sense, consisting only of basic facilities typical of remote Alaskan bush airports.
Getting to & from
There is no road system connecting Kongiganak to other communities, so ground transport beyond the village itself is not available.
