About Seward Airport

Seward Airport (SWD) is a state-owned, public-use general aviation airport serving Seward and the eastern Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. Located about two miles northeast of downtown Seward on Resurrection Bay, the airport primarily supports private aircraft, air taxis, charter flights and medevac operations rather than scheduled airline service.

Opened in 1947, the airport has two asphalt runways and no control tower; pilots use the common traffic advisory frequency for arrivals and departures. Its location makes it a practical aviation link for visitors heading to Seward's boat harbor, cruise terminal and nearby Kenai Fjords National Park.

Ground access is short and direct, with the town centre roughly 3 km away. Travelers typically continue by pre-arranged transfer, taxi, rental car or shuttle, while groups arriving for cruises, fishing trips and outdoor tours often coordinate transportation in advance.

Facilities at the airport itself are limited to general aviation needs such as fuel and aircraft parking, so most dining, lodging and passenger services are found in Seward.
