## Description

Alakanuk sits in the Yukon River delta with no road link to the rest of Alaska, which makes its gravel strip (IATA: AUK) the village's lifeline. Mail, groceries and general freight arrive on light aircraft operated by regional carriers, normally routed via the transfer points at Bethel (BET) and Anchorage (ANC), with river barges adding capacity in summer. There is no cargo terminal and no customs facility, and volumes are small, but for everyday goods there is no alternative to flying.
