Port Graham Airport guide

Port Graham Airport (FAA PGM) is a state-owned, public-use airstrip serving Port Graham, a village near the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula. No road connects the village to the rest of Alaska, so people reach it by air or by boat across Kachemak Bay. Homer lies about 35 km to the northeast.

The airport has one gravel and dirt runway, 12/30, which measures 1,975 feet by 45 feet. It sits at an elevation of 93 feet. There is no control tower, and pilots announce their position on the common traffic frequency, 122.9. Alaska DOT&PF Central Region owns and maintains the field. The state has proposed a longer shared airport between Port Graham and Nanwalek, with a 3.5-mile access road, to replace both existing strips.

Smokey Bay Air, based in Homer, flies the scheduled service. Its village flights run from Homer through Seldovia to Port Graham and Nanwalek, with seven scheduled stops a day at Port Graham. The FAA counted 2,916 passenger boardings in 2008. Aircraft operations were 950 in the 12 months to December 2005, about 79 percent air taxi and 21 percent general aviation. Visitors need permission from the village council to enter Port Graham.
