About Akutan Airport

Akutan Airport (IATA: KQA, ICAO: PAUT, FAA LID: 7AK) is a state-owned public-use airport serving Akutan, a city on Akutan Island in the Aleutians East Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska. The airport is located on Akun Island, 6 miles (10 km) east of Akutan Island. Scheduled air service is subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.

The airport was opened in 2012. Akutan was previously served by amphibious airplane service to Akutan Seaplane Base, located on Akutan Island. However, in 2012 operator PenAir announced that they would retire their Grumman Goose aircraft and as a result the traditional airport on Akun Island was built to serve Akutan. The airport on Akun was originally connected to Akutan by a hovercraft, but the connection is now provided via helicopter operated by Maritime Helicopters.
