  "connection_tips": "Selawik Airport serves an I\u00f1upiat Eskimo village of 828 residents located at the mouth of the Selawik River, 70 miles southeast of Kotzebue in Alaska's Northwest Arctic Borough. The state-owned facility operates two gravel runways (3,002-foot and 2,659-foot) at just 17 feet elevation, with Bering Air providing essential passenger and cargo service connecting this remote community to the regional hub at Kotzebue. The airport plays a crucial role in supporting subsistence activities that define village life, including caribou and moose hunting, whitefish and sheefish fishing, and seasonal berry gathering that sustain the traditional I\u00f1upiat way of life.\n\nWinter operations are particularly challenging, with extreme cold, limited daylight, and potential whiteout conditions requiring flexible scheduling and robust aircraft winterization. The community relies heavily on the airport for medical evacuations, supply deliveries, and connecting to winter snowmachine trail networks that link surrounding villages. Ground transportation in the village typically involves ATVs in summer and snowmachines in winter, as there are no road connections to the outside world.\n\nThe airport serves the broader Selawik National Wildlife Refuge region, where residents continue traditional hunting and fishing practices protected under federal subsistence laws. Fuel supplies and basic maintenance services are available, though logistics become more complicated during winter months when river and maritime transport routes freeze. The facility operates under challenging Arctic conditions that require specialized equipment and procedures to ensure safe operations throughout the year-round service that keeps this isolated community connected to essential services and the broader regional network.",

  "terminal_info": "Selawik Airport is a state-owned Northwest Arctic village airport serving a roadless Inupiat community west of Kobuk Lake. The airfield is central to local life because Selawik has no highway connection to the rest of Alaska and relies on aviation for passenger travel, mail, groceries, medical access, and time-sensitive freight.\n\nThat dependence sits alongside the village's own transport pattern. State transportation work in Selawik has focused on boardwalks and access roads within the community, which underlines that the airport feeds directly into a tundra settlement rather than into a normal road network.\n\nWLK should therefore be read as a genuine village lifeline airport in rural Alaska, with gravel-strip practicality and daily importance that far outweigh any formal terminal infrastructure.",
