## Description

About 893,000 pounds of freight — roughly 405 tonnes — moved through Atqasuk Edward Burnell Sr Memorial Airport (ATK, PATQ) in 2015, and that figure represents the village's entire inbound supply chain. The North Slope Borough-owned gravel field lies about one nautical mile south of Atqasuk on the Meade River and has no road connection to Alaska's highway network. Groceries, building materials, fuel drums, mail and medical shipments therefore arrive on small bush aircraft rather than through any cargo terminal. Frontier Flying Service, trading as Ravn Connect, historically served the community; after Ravn Alaska's 2020 bankruptcy its routes were redistributed among other Alaskan operators. The USPS Alaska Bypass Mail system matters commercially here, since it allows palletised goods to move to rural communities at postal rates. The nearest transfer point is Utqiagvik's Wiley Post-Will Rogers Memorial Airport (BRW) some 90 km north, while the real freight gateways are Fairbanks (FAI) and Anchorage (ANC), the latter one of the world's largest cargo airports.
