HSL Airport (Huslia Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

About 280 residents of the Koyukon Athabascan village of Huslia depend on a single 4,000 ft gravel strip: Huslia Airport (IATA: HSL, ICAO: PAHL) is the community's only year-round freight link. Runway 3/21 measures 4,000 by 75 ft of gravel, which limits traffic to light piston and turboprop types; there is no cargo terminal, no resident handling agent and no freighter service. Wright Air Service links the village to Fairbanks (FAI), Galena, Hughes, Ruby and Tanana, carrying goods as loose cabin load rather than as belly cargo. Groceries, hardware and fuel drums move under the USPS Alaska Bypass Mail programme, while heavy and oversized items such as building materials arrive by summer barge on the Koyukuk River. No customs clearance applies, since all traffic is domestic within the United States, and no road connects Huslia to the Alaska highway network. The present airport opened in October 2011 after the older runway in the river floodplain suffered repeated flooding and erosion. Shippers normally consolidate at Fairbanks (FAI) or Galena (GAL) and plan around available lift, with the recurring political debate over the cost of Bypass Mail the main open risk.
