Chignik Lagoon Airport (KCL)

Chignik Lagoon Airport is a state-owned, public-use airstrip serving Chignik Lagoon, a small Alaska Native village on the Pacific side of the Alaska Peninsula in the Lake and Peninsula Borough. The airport is owned and maintained by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities.

The airport operates a single gravel and dirt runway, designated 4/22 and measuring approximately 2,200 by 90 feet, suitable for small aircraft operating under visual flight rules. There is no control tower and no scheduled airline service; air taxis and charter aircraft provide essential links to nearby communities and larger hubs.

Located less than one mile from the village center, the airstrip sits close to the lagoon and surrounding residential areas. Chignik Lagoon is about 450 miles southwest of Anchorage and is not connected to the road system, so the airport plays a vital role for passenger travel, freight, medical needs and fishing-season traffic.

With no terminal building, fuel service or runway lighting, the airport is a practical, low-infrastructure facility typical of remote Alaska. Travelers should arrange onward transport locally, as vehicle and ATV access within the village is limited and the main connections to other communities are by air or water.
