## Description

Roughly 305,000 lbs — about 138 tonnes — of freight a year pass through Egegik Airport (EGX/PAII, FAA identifier EII) according to FAA statistics, an unusual figure for a village of barely 60 year-round residents. The explanation is salmon: the Egegik district on Bristol Bay is one of the world's richest sockeye fisheries, and every June the settlement fills with thousands of fishermen and processing crews. Owned by the City of Egegik, the field works two gravel runways, 12/30 at about 1,707 m and 3/21 at about 457 m; both soften after rain and 12/30 is prone to ponding. Grant Aviation links Egegik with King Salmon (AKN), Pilot Point and Ugashik Bay, and the traffic is small aircraft and bush operations carrying Bypass Mail, groceries, spare parts and time-critical fresh product rather than scheduled freighters. There is no road access, so bulk volume and most of the catch leave by tender and vessel while anything urgent flies. No customs office is based here: international consignments clear at Anchorage (ANC), with King Salmon about 50 km north and Dillingham (DLG) as the regional alternatives.
