Quillayute Airport (IATA: UIL, ICAO: KUIL), formerly known as Quillayute State Airport, is a public airport located approximately 10 miles west of the city of Forks, in Clallam County, Washington, USA. This former Naval Auxiliary Air Station was deeded to the City of Forks by the Washington State Department of Transportation in 1999.
[edit] Runways
The airport has two concrete runways, each one close to 5000 feet long. Runway 12/30 is closed (the north-south runway). Runway 4/22 is open with a displaced threshold of 1,089 feet. In the Master Planning effort currently underway, it is the intent, in the long-term plan, to remove the displacement on runway 4/22 in the future, and reopen runway 12/30 at a shortened length. A runway improvement project involving joint sealing on 4/22 is planned for the summer of 2002.
