Buckland Airport (IATA: BKC, ICAO: PABL, FAA LID: BVK, formerly 7K5) is a public airport located on the Buckland River, one mile (1.6 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 owned by the state.[1]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Buckland Airport is assigned BVK by the FAA and BKC by the IATA[2] (which assigned BVK to Huacaraje, Bolivia[3]). The airport's ICAO identifier is PABL.[4]
