Buckland Airport (IATA: BKC, ICAO: PABL, FAA LID: BVK, formerly 7K5; Iñupiaq: Nunatchiam Mirvia or Kaŋium Mirvia) is a state-owned public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) southwest of the central business district of Buckland,[1] a city in the Northwest Arctic Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska. The airport is situated on the Buckland River.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned BVK by the FAA[1] and BKC by the IATA[2] (which assigned BVK to Huacaraje, Bolivia[3]). The airport's ICAO identifier is PABL.[4]
