## Description

BKH/PHBK is the airfield of Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) Barking Sands, a US Navy installation on the west coast of Kauai near Kekaha, Hawaii. Billed as the world's largest instrumented missile test and training range, it handles no scheduled passenger or freight traffic and has no commercial cargo facilities. Air cargo for Kauai moves through Lihue Airport (LIH), about 40 km east, while Hawaii's interisland and international freight is concentrated at Honolulu (HNL) on Oʻahu. For forwarders, BKH is a restricted military field, not a cargo gateway.
