Moses Point Airport

Moses Point Airport (IATA: MOS, FAA LID: MOS) is an airport located in Elim, a city in the Nome Census Area of the U.S. state of Alaska. It is privately owned by the Elim Native Corporation. Formerly, the field operated as Moses Point Army Airfield during World War II.

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned MOS by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.
