Ambler Airport (IATA: ABL, ICAO: PAFM, FAA LID: AFM) (Iñupiaq: Ivisaappaat Mirviat) is a state-owned public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) north of the central business district of Ambler,[1] a city in the Northwest Arctic Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska.
As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 2,357 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, an increase of 0.13% from the 2,354 enplanements in 2007.[2] This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorizes it as a general aviation facility.[3]
