Kake Airport is a state-owned, public-use general aviation field on Kupreanof Island in southeast Alaska, serving the community of Kake just to its northwest. It offers a single lit hard-surfaced runway and is used mainly by light aircraft, since scheduled airline traffic instead operates from the nearby Kake Seaplane Base.
Kake Airport is a state-owned, public-use aerodrome serving the city of Kake in Alaska's Petersburg Borough. It is classed by the FAA as a general aviation airport within the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems, and scheduled airline flights for the community instead use the separate Kake Seaplane Base rather than this land airport, making PAFE primarily a field for general aviation and charter traffic in a remote Alaskan setting that will appeal to sim pilots exploring the Inside Passage.
Kake Airport lies about one nautical mile southeast of the central business district of Kake, on Kupreanof Island in southeast Alaska. Air traffic in the area is worked by Anchorage Center, and Sitka radio provides Flight Service Station support for the region.
The airport has a single lit, hard-surfaced runway aligned 11/29. The 11 threshold provides 3,990 feet of usable length, while the 29 threshold provides 3,010 feet; field elevation is 148 feet.
Pilots should monitor the CTAF on 122.9 MHz for airfield traffic. An AWOS-3 automated weather observation is broadcast on 135.25 MHz. Anchorage Center can be contacted on 118 MHz, and Sitka Radio, the local Flight Service Station, operates on 121.3 MHz. The airport has no instrument landing system.
Kake Airport is owned by the State of Alaska and is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011 to 2015, in which it was categorised as a general aviation airport. For the twelve-month period ending 31 December 2006 the airport recorded 4,600 aircraft operations, an average of about twelve per day.
Kake Airport continues to function as a general aviation field for the community of Kake, with a single asphalt runway open to light aircraft. Scheduled airline service for the town is instead provided at the nearby Kake Seaplane Base rather than at this land airport.
