Moses Point Airport (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.[1] 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.[2]
