Golovin Airport

Golovin Airport opened in the mid-20th century and remains a small but vital regional airfield on Norton Sound, featuring a single simple terminal and one gravel runway used by bush aircraft and small turboprops. The airport is the primary air link for residents and visitors to Golovin village, reachable by a short drive from town with no regular bus service; most travelers connect through nearby Nome or other western Alaska hubs via scheduled regional carriers and charters. Not a major hub, it is served by local operators rather than national airlines. Because of its remote location, fares can be higher than U.S. averages, though short regional hops are often competitively priced.
