Eek Airport

Overview

Eek Airport is the small public airport serving Eek in the United States, giving this remote community an essential air link for everyday travel, supplies, and regional access. Identified by IATA code EEK and ICAO code PAEE, the airport sits at a very low elevation of 12 feet (4 m), reflecting its coastal lowland setting. For visitors, that means the airport is less about big-terminal convenience and more about practical local access: a straightforward gateway where the focus is getting in and out efficiently rather than spending extra time on site.

What travellers should know

Because this is a small airport, travellers should plan for a simple, limited-service experience and arrive prepared rather than expecting extensive facilities. The single runway, 17/35, is 3243 feet long and gravel-surfaced, which is typical of smaller community airports in rural Alaska and helps explain why operations here are focused on utility over scale. Check your itinerary carefully, keep essentials with you, and pay attention to local time in the America/Nome zone when coordinating pickups or onward plans. If you are used to larger hubs, Eek Airport is best approached as a practical transport point that connects you directly to the community it serves.
