About Naknek Airport

Naknek Airport is a small public-use airport serving the community of Naknek and the Bristol Bay Borough in southwest Alaska. Owned by the State of Alaska, it functions primarily as a general aviation facility for private aircraft, air taxis and limited commercial flights.

Located about one nautical mile north of central Naknek, the airport provides access to the Bristol Bay region, including nearby King Salmon and the wider Katmai National Park area. It has two gravel runways and a separate seaplane landing area, but no control tower and no traditional passenger terminal.

Because the airport is unattended, travelers generally coordinate flights, arrivals and ground transportation directly with their operator, lodge or a local provider. The larger King Salmon Airport is the main commercial gateway for the area.

Ground connections from Naknek Airport rely on pre-arranged transfers, taxis, lodge shuttles and rental vehicles, making advance planning important for reaching Naknek, King Salmon, South Naknek and surrounding destinations.
