About Ouzinkie Airport

Ouzinkie Airport (KOZ) is a small state-owned public-use airport serving Ouzinkie, a village on Spruce Island in Alaska's Kodiak Island Borough. It gives the remote island community a direct air link to Kodiak and other parts of the region.

Opened in January 1983, the airport has a single gravel runway, 08/26, measuring about 3,300 by 60 feet (1,006 by 18 meters). There is no control tower, and the facility is unattended; pilots activate the medium-intensity runway lighting over the common traffic advisory frequency.

The airport lies about 3 miles (5 km) north-northeast of Ouzinkie village and works alongside the nearby Alaska Marine Highway ferry terminal as part of the community's limited transport network. Scheduled flights between Ouzinkie and Kodiak Airport take roughly 15 minutes, while the ferry offers a slower island-to-island connection.

Because Ouzinkie is remote and small, the airport functions mainly as a practical gateway rather than a large passenger terminal. Travelers should expect basic facilities and arrange onward travel to the village, harbor, or Kodiak in advance.
