Tununak Airport Relocation
Project 51791

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF), in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), proposes to relocate the Tununak airport to provide an airport that meets current standards.  The project components include: constructing a new airport to create a community class airport consisting of a 3,300 foot runway and future crosswind runway, a new apron, taxiway, and airport access road, 2-bay storage building for snow removal equipment, navigational aids and airport lighting. All the property for the new airport will have to be acquired, most from the local Native Corporation.

The community of Tununak is located on Nelson Island, approximately 115 miles northwest of Bethel.
