About West Point Village Seaplane Base
West Point Village Seaplane Base (KWP) is a small public-use seaplane base serving the remote community of West Point on Kodiak Island, Alaska. It sits on Uganik Bay and provides an important air link between the island's remote west side and the city of Kodiak.
The base opened in June 1963 and operates a single water runway on Uganik Bay. Scheduled passenger flights between West Point and Kodiak are supported through the Essential Air Service program, making the base a key connection for residents, workers, and visitors heading to fishing and backcountry areas.
Because there are no roads into West Point, all travel to and from the community is by air or water. The seaplane base is unattended and has no conventional terminal building, so passengers typically board and disembark directly at the waterfront.
Travelers using the base generally continue to Kodiak for supplies, accommodation, car rental, and other services, or use it as a starting point for trips to lodges and outdoor destinations around Uganik Bay.
