Clarks Point Airport (PFCL/CLP) is a small state-owned public-use airfield serving the village of Clarks Point in the Dillingham Census Area of southwest Alaska. It offers a single gravel runway aligned north-south and supports scheduled air-taxi flights linking the community to the regional hub of Dillingham.
Clarks Point Airport is a state-owned, public-use general aviation facility serving the small community of Clarks Point in the Dillingham Census Area of Alaska. It is a modest but active bush airfield, handling a mix of scheduled air-taxi and general aviation traffic, and is of interest to simulator pilots wanting a taste of remote Alaskan gravel-strip flying.
The airport sits in uncontrolled airspace typical of rural southwest Alaska, about one mile east of the village of Clarks Point itself (https://skyvector.com/airport/CLP/Clarks-Point-Airport). It lies within the Dillingham Census Area, with Dillingham Airport the nearest significant aerodrome and regional traffic hub.
The field has a single physical runway, 18/36, 3214 feet long with a hard surface.
No communications frequencies are published for Clarks Point Airport, and it has no instrument landing system.
Clarks Point Airport covers an area of 114 acres and was categorised by the Federal Aviation Administration as a general aviation facility in its National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009-2013. In the 12-month period ending December 31, 2008, the airport recorded 6,000 aircraft operations, an average of 16 per day, split roughly two-thirds air taxi and one-third general aviation traffic. Passenger boardings that year totalled 497, up 15 percent from 432 the previous year (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarks_Point_Airport).
The airport continues to support one based aircraft and remains served by scheduled air-taxi operator Grant Aviation, which in recent years has flown routes connecting Clarks Point to Bethel, Dillingham, King Salmon and South Naknek. In 2015 the airport handled 867 passengers, all carried by Grant Aviation, with Dillingham the leading destination by a wide margin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarks_Point_Airport).
