Old Harbor Airport guide

Old Harbor Airport serves the Alutiiq village of Old Harbor on the southeast coast of Kodiak Island. The state-owned, public-use airstrip lies about 2 miles north-northeast of the village, in the Kodiak Island Borough. No road connects Old Harbor to Kodiak city, so the airstrip is the main year-round link for residents, mail and freight.

The airport has one gravel runway, 3/21, measuring 2,750 by 60 feet. The runway cuts through a hill at its midpoint, and winds in the area are gusty and unpredictable. The field is unattended, has no control tower and no fuel. Its FAA identifier is 6R7, and OLH is its IATA code. It has no ICAO code. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities owns it.

Scheduled flights connect Old Harbor with Kodiak and with Akhiok. Island Air Service is the listed carrier. In 2012 the airport handled about 4,000 passengers, split almost evenly between Island Air and Servant Air, and most of them flew to or from Kodiak.
