About Port Bailey Seaplane Base
Port Bailey Seaplane Base is a public-use seaplane base located in Port Bailey, in the Kodiak Island Borough of Alaska. It serves as a small air access point for a remote coastal community and is privately owned by PB Energy Inc.
The base has a single water landing area aligned east/west, measuring about 10,000 by 2,000 feet (3,048 by 610 metres), and is used mainly by floatplanes and amphibious aircraft. There are no published instrument procedures, so flying conditions depend on visual weather; the nearest airport with instrument approaches is Kodiak Airport, roughly 21 nautical miles to the southeast.
The facility is unattended and has no terminal building, control tower or on-site aircraft services. Arrivals and departures take place directly on the water, with a beaching area between buildings that offers some wind protection in a confined location.
Port Bailey is reached by air or water rather than road. Travellers generally connect through Kodiak, and onward movement to lodges, fishing areas and other parts of the island is arranged by boat or floatplane.
