Huslia Airport (IATA: HSL, ICAO: PAHL, FAA LID: HLA) is a public airport located one mile (2 km) east of the central business district of Huslia in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area of the U.S. state of Alaska.[1]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Huslia Airport is assigned HLA by the FAA and HSL by the IATA (which assigned HLA to Lanseria, South Africa).[2][3] The airport's ICAO identifier is PAHL.[4]
