Old Harbor Airport (OLH)

Old Harbor Airport (OLH) is a state-owned regional facility located approximately 2 nautical miles northeast of Old Harbor on the southeast coast of Kodiak Island, Alaska. The airport serves as a critical transportation link for the remote community, featuring a single, compact terminal building that houses all check-in, boarding, and arrival processes. Its infrastructure is specifically designed for small propeller and utility aircraft, reflecting the rugged nature of the region. The terminal environment is basic and functional, offering a general hall for passengers waiting for flights but lacking modern amenities. There are no restaurants, cafés, retail shops, or public Wi-Fi services available on-site, so travelers are strongly advised to bring their own food and water. The facility is typically unattended by commercial staff outside of scheduled flight times, with operations being managed through local and regional partners. Airfield characteristics include a 2,750-foot gravel runway (3/21), with ongoing projects aimed at extending the field to support larger aircraft for the local fishing industry. Island Air Service is the primary commercial carrier, providing regular scheduled connections to the City of Kodiak. Due to its remote location, there is no formal public transportation; the airport is within walking distance of the settlement, and most local travel is handled through private arrangements.
