Karluk Airport guide

Karluk Airport (ICAO PAKY, FAA KYK) is a public-use gravel airstrip about one nautical mile east of Karluk, a village of 27 people on the west side of Kodiak Island in the Kodiak Island Borough of Alaska. The State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Central Region, owns the airport. It sits at 137 feet above sea level and has no control tower.

The airport has one runway, 10/28, which is 2,000 feet long and 60 feet wide with a gravel surface. Karluk has no road connection to the rest of the island, so the airstrip is the village's main link to Kodiak. The Federal Aviation Administration counted 135 passenger boardings in 2020, and federal records list the field as a general aviation facility.

Island Air Service flies about three scheduled flights a week between Karluk and Kodiak Airport, a trip of roughly one hour. Federal Essential Air Service subsidies for the route ended in March 2012, and the carrier has flown without subsidy since.
