About Tokeen Seaplane Base

Tokeen Seaplane Base (TKI) is a small public-use seaplane base serving Tokeen, a settlement on Marble Island in Southeast Alaska's Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area. The facility primarily supports air taxi and charter floatplane operations for residents and visitors traveling to this remote coastal area. The base was activated in 1962 and consists of a water landing area measuring approximately 6,000 by 400 feet, with no control tower or staffed terminal. Operations are visual and rely on a common traffic advisory frequency. Tokeen Seaplane Base is located at Tokeen, about 65 nautical miles northwest of Ketchikan and roughly 23 nautical miles north of Klawock. There are no road connections to the base, so access is by floatplane or boat. Travelers use the base mainly to reach Tokeen, Marble Island, and the surrounding Prince of Wales Island area. Nearby regional airports include Klawock Airport, Wrangell Airport, and Ketchikan International Airport for connecting flights.
