Chefornak Sea Plane Base

Chefornak Seaplane Base, established in the mid-20th century (around the 1960s), is a compact floatplane facility serving the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta village of Chefornak, Alaska; it has no formal multi-terminal complex—just a single dock and small shelter rather than full terminals. As a vital regional link for passengers, mail and goods, the seaplane base provides regular floatplane connections to Bethel and neighboring communities and is accessible only by air or boat (no road links). It is not a hub but is served by Alaska’s regional and bush carriers and local floatplane operators; fares tend to be higher than continental flights due to remoteness, so travelers should compare regional carriers when booking.
