Yakataga Airport guide

Yakataga Airport is a small airstrip on the Gulf of Alaska coast, next to the former settlement of Cape Yakataga in the City and Borough of Yakutat. The field sits about 16 feet above sea level. It is unattended, has no control tower and no fuel or repair services, and pilots use the common traffic frequency 122.900 MHz. Its ICAO code is PACY and its FAA identifier is 0AA1.

The airport has one turf runway, 08/26, measuring 4,350 by 75 feet. The surface is rated fair and is soft when wet. The field was activated in April 1949. The FAA lists it as publicly owned and not an airport of entry.

Scheduled passenger flights reached Yakataga under the Essential Air Service program until the service ended in 2012. Cape Yakataga had 48 residents in the 1960 census, and the state later determined that it no longer had permanent residents. Today the strip serves charter and private flights to a remote, roadless stretch of coast.
