Chefornak Airport (IATA: CYF, ICAO: PACK, FAA LID: CFK) is a state-owned public-use airport in Chefornak,[1] a city in the Bethel Census Area of the U.S. state of Alaska. The airport is on the Kinia River.

Most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, but this airport is assigned CFK by the FAA[1] and CYF by the IATA.[2] The airport's ICAO identifier is PACK.[3]

Facilities

Chefornak Airport has one runway designated 16/34 with a gravel and dirt surface measuring 2,500 by 28 feet (762 x 9 m).[1]

A new airstrip has been built further out from the village due to concerns with the current airstrip being near the school and pedestrian traffic; however, the runway must settle for several years before it is ready to be used.
