About Buckland Airport
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, 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 and BKC by the IATA (which assigned BVK to Huacaraje, Bolivia). The airport's ICAO identifier is PABL.
