Kenai Municipal Airport Guide

Kenai Municipal Airport (ICAO PAEN, FAA ENA) is a city-owned, public-use airport at 305 North Willow Street in Kenai, on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska. The US Army built the field in 1941, and the Civil Air Patrol completed a 5,000-foot runway in 1942. The first terminal opened in 1952, and the current building dates from 1966, with remodelling in the 1980s.

The airport has a 7,855-foot asphalt runway, 2L/20R, that is 150 feet wide. A 1,980-foot gravel runway, 2R/20L, runs beside it, and a water landing area, 2W/20W, measures 4,600 by 252 feet for floatplanes. Two asphalt helipads sit on the field. FAA data counted 96,565 passenger boardings in 2008, and about 40,000 aircraft operations were recorded in the 12 months to December 2011.

Scheduled service is on small aircraft to Anchorage. Between September 2021 and August 2022, Ravn Alaska carried about 55 percent of passengers and Grant Aviation about 39 percent. Corvus Airlines carried most of the rest. The terminal has a rental car desk, a cafe, a bar and a gift shop.
