Improvements at Fort Yukon include resurfacing the runway and taxiway and replacing lighting systems.
The King Salmon airport received a grant to resurface terminal aprons and taxiways.
Grants also will pay for the first phase of work to relocate Akiachak airport and for improvements to the Allakaket airport.
