Chuathbaluk Airport (IATA: CHU, FAA LID: 9A3) is a state-owned, public-use airport serving the remote community of Chuathbaluk, Alaska. Located in the Bethel Census Area, the airport is not a destination for mainstream tourism but serves as a vital transportation link for residents. It provides essential year-round access to supplies, medical care, and travel to and from the regional hub of Bethel, especially when the adjacent Kuskokwim River is impassable.
