Kodiak Airport Guide
Kodiak Airport (ICAO PADQ) is a public and military airport on Kodiak Island, Alaska. It sits about 4 nautical miles southwest of downtown Kodiak. No road links the island to the mainland, so the airport carries most visitor and resident air traffic, plus freight such as frozen fish.
The field occupies the former Naval Air Station Kodiak, commissioned in 1941. In 2013 it was renamed Kodiak Benny Benson State Airport after the designer of the Alaska state flag. The State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities owns it. U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak shares the airfield and flies HC-130 Hercules aircraft and rescue helicopters from it.
Three asphalt runways serve the airport: 8/26 at about 7,500 feet, 11/29 at 5,400 feet and 1/19 at 5,010 feet. Commercial operations by aircraft with more than 30 passenger seats need prior written permission from the airport manager. Alaska Airlines provides scheduled service to Anchorage, and small air-taxi operators fly to villages on the island. The FAA counted 86,579 enplanements in 2024.
