About False Pass Airport

False Pass Airport is a small, state-owned public-use airport serving False Pass, a community near the eastern end of Unimak Island in Alaska's Aleutians East Borough. It provides an essential air link for residents and visitors in this remote part of the Aleutian chain.

Scheduled passenger services connect False Pass with Cold Bay and onward points in Alaska, mainly using small aircraft. The airport operates a single gravel and dirt runway, Runway 14/32, about 2,150 feet long, and has no control tower; the airfield is unattended.

The airport sits immediately southeast of the False Pass community, roughly 0.5 km from the centre, so the trip into town is short. Onward travel is usually arranged in advance by local vehicle or private transfer, as facilities at the airfield are minimal.

Despite its small size, False Pass Airport is a key gateway for the community and supports scheduled, charter and general aviation traffic in this isolated coastal region of Alaska.
