Remote Alaska gateway serving the small Akhiok community.
Location
Akhiok, United States
Akhiok Airport (IATA: AKK, ICAO: PAKH) is a small general aviation facility located near the village of Akhiok on Kodiak Island in southern Alaska, United States. It serves as a critical link for this remote community, which has no road connections to other parts of the island.
The airport supports scheduled and charter small aircraft operations, providing residents with access to essential supplies, medical services, and transportation to Kodiak city and beyond. Given the challenging terrain and weather conditions typical of the Kodiak archipelago, the airport plays a vital role in community safety and logistics.
Akhiok is one of the smallest communities on Kodiak Island, with a population of only a few dozen residents, and the airport reflects that scale with minimal facilities and infrastructure.
Terminals
The airport has no formal terminal building; facilities are minimal and consist of a basic airstrip serving small aircraft.
Getting to & from
There is no formal ground transportation system; Akhiok village is accessible only by foot from the airstrip, as no roads connect it to other communities.

Small regional carriers and charter operators, including services historically associated with Era Alaska and local air taxi companies, provide limited scheduled and on-demand service.
