==Economy and transportation== {{Unreferenced section|date=September 2008}} The majority of the year-round employment in Akiak is with the city, schools or other public services. Commercial fishing or [[Bureau of Land Management|BLM]] fire-fighting also provide seasonal income. Twenty-seven residents hold commercial fishing permits. The community is interested in developing a fish processing plant and tourism. Subsistence activities are important to residents. Poor fish returns since 1997 have significantly affected the community. The airport has a gravel runway in good condition, measuring {{convert|3196|ft}} long by {{convert|75|ft}} wide, at an elevation of {{convert|30|ft}}. The strip provides chartered or private air access year-round. [[Arctic Circle Air Service]], [[Grant Aviation]], and [[Hageland Aviation]] offer passenger flight service. Snow machines, ATVs, and skiffs are used extensively for local transportation to nearby villages. There are no docking facilities. The town has no sales tax, property tax, or special taxes. The sale or importation of [[alcoholic beverage|alcohol]] is banned in the village.
