I did not write the statement which is in the article - "town" and "region" are "too vague". I believe the original contributor was trying to say that Kotzebue was the only city in the Northwest Arctic Borough (or within about 200? miles) to have regularly scheduled "large" (jet?) commercial passenger aircraft service to and from places like Anchorage, Alaska. By "true airport", the original contributor could have also meant one with either:
- having a paved runway
- 24-hour or regularly staffed air traffic control tower?
- Nome, Alaska 64°30′14″N 165°23′58″W Nome Airport the closest larger airport is about 250+ miles to the South (in the Nome Census Area rather than the Northwest Arctic Borough).
I agree that there are a least a couple of things wrong with the (deleted) sentence, but "deleting" it entirely is not the same as "correcting". LeheckaG (talk) 07:03, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
