A state-owned gravel airstrip is available. Air transportation is the primary means for freight and mail service, as well as passenger travel. The nearby village of St. Mary's is a hub for freight and mail, and Bethel is a hub for passenger travel. Heavy winds of up to 50 mph are common during fall and winter. Funds were awarded to relocate the airport runway. Construction began in 2011 and is scheduled to be complete in 2014. Pilot Station is also easily accessible by river-going vessels. Barges deliver fuel and other bulk supplies during the summer. Skiffs and snowmobiles provide inter-village transportation. There are no roads to surrounding communities. However, winter trails are used by residents to travel to surrounding communities and subsistence sites.
