Allakaket, United States
Allakaket Airport (AET/PFAL) is a small general aviation facility serving the village of Allakaket, a remote community in the interior of Alaska situated along the Koyukuk River.

It plays an essential role in delivering mail, supplies, and medical transport to this isolated community.
