Access to Other Public Aviation Facilities:
Description: Since there are no roads connecting the city with other areas, access to Golovin is limited to air and sea. However, in the winter the village can also be accessed over land or ice. Both scheduled and chartered flights are available from Nome. A cargo ship brings supplies once each summer from Nome. Locals are interested in a road to White Mountain. The airport was recently relocated, and a new state-owned airport with a gravel runway is available. Scheduled and chartered flights are available (weather permitting) daily from Nome. Barges cannot currently land at Golovin because there is no dock. Supplies are lightered from Nome and offloaded on the beach. There is a small boat dock and a concrete boat ramp.
