## Description

On the Arctic tundra beside the Meade River, about 97 km southwest of Utqiagvik (Barrow), Atqasuk Edward Burnell Sr Memorial Airport (IATA: ATK, ICAO: PATQ) serves the Iñupiat village of Atqasuk and its roughly 260 residents. Owned by the North Slope Borough, it has a single gravel runway (6/24, about 1,332 m) and is flown only by bush operators, whose Caravan-class aircraft link it to Utqiagvik and neighbouring villages such as Wainwright. There is no cargo terminal; goods arrive as belly load on bush flights, with bulk freight moving seasonally overland. Genuine air cargo routes through Utqiagvik (BRW) and the Alaskan hubs of Fairbanks (FAI) and Anchorage (ANC) — ATK has no freight role of its own.
