Pedro Bay Airport guide

Pedro Bay Airport is a state-owned public-use airport in the Lake and Peninsula Borough of southwest Alaska. It also carries the FAA identifier 4K0. The field lies about one nautical mile west of the center of Pedro Bay, a community of 43 residents at the head of Pedro Bay on the northeast end of Iliamna Lake. Wikipedia lists its elevation at 45 feet.

The airport has a single gravel runway, 9/27, measuring 3,000 by 60 feet. The FAA recorded 1,050 aircraft operations in the 12 months to December 2008, about 87 a month. General aviation made up 52 percent of that traffic and air taxi flights the other 48 percent.

Passenger numbers are small. The airport had 678 enplanements in 2008, down 47 percent from 1,271 in 2007. Iliamna Air Taxi flies scheduled service to Iliamna and Kokhanok. The village has no connection to the main road system, so the airstrip serves as its link for people, mail and supplies.
