Alakanuk Airport is the 2nd of the 24 airstrips and airports on the Yukon River in Alaska.

Alakanuk: population 700, is a small village located in the Kusilvak Census Area of western Alaska. The name "Alakanuk" means "wrong way" or "mistake village" in Yup'ik, reflecting its location in a maze of watercourses. The village is situated at the east entrance of Alakanuk Pass, a major southern channel of the Yukon River, about 15 miles from the Bering Sea. It is part of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge. The village has a subarctic climate with heavy snowfall and strong winds during the fall and winter. When the ice breaks, barges bring much needed supplies to the village. 

The new Alakanuk Airport, which opened in 2012, replaced the older one for several reasons:
The new airport was designed to improve the safety of airport maintenance and operations.
It can also accommodate larger aircraft, which allows for more efficient fuel and freight deliveries. This is particularly important for the transportation of fish products from the village to market.  The new airport includes a longer and wider runway, which enhances its capacity and functionality.

Dimensions: 4000 x 75 feet (1200 x 25 meters) 
Surface:        Gravel
Runway:       16 / 34 

Installation:
MS/Asobo mistakenly created 2 airports for Alakanuk.  AUK is the duplicate, PAUK is the good one.  In order to fix this, I had to modify both airports.  Both mods must be added to your community folder.  This download should handle that for you but verify that both AUK and PAUK are in your Community folder.

This airport was created using the standard MS / Asobo libraries and free libraries from the Marketplace.  In order to view all the scenery objects, make sure you have installed the latest System and World Updates. Also go to the MS/Asobo Marketplace to download and install the following free libraries: UK2000 Common Library, and the free ESD Object Library.
