Igiugig Airport is a small, state-owned public-use aerodrome serving the village of Igiugig in Alaska's Lake and Peninsula Borough. It offers a single hard-surfaced, lit runway and sees a mix of general aviation and scheduled air-taxi traffic, making it a useful stop for bush-flying operations in the Bristol Bay region.
Igiugig Airport is a state-owned, public-use airfield serving the small community of Igiugig in the Lake and Peninsula Borough of Alaska. It is an unattended field with a single runway, used primarily by general aviation and scheduled air-taxi operators, and offers a straightforward destination for simulator pilots exploring the remote bush-flying environment around Bristol Bay and the Iliamna Lake drainage.
The airport lies in the Lake and Peninsula Borough of Alaska, serving the village of Igiugig. No specific controlled airspace, FIR boundary or ATZ detail is given in the available sources, but as an unattended rural Alaskan strip it can be expected to sit within uncontrolled airspace typical of the region.
Igiugig Airport has one physical runway, 05/23, measuring 3,535 feet with a hard surface and runway lighting.
No communications frequencies are published for Igiugig Airport. The field is unattended, and pilots use the common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF) to activate the medium-intensity runway lighting on runway 05/23, the wind cone lighting, and the rotating beacon. There is no ILS or other instrument approach aid associated with the field.
Igiugig Airport was developed as a state-owned facility to serve the village of Igiugig. Scheduled airline service to King Salmon Airport was historically provided by Peninsula Airways (PenAir). Federal Aviation Administration records show the airport handled 626 commercial passenger boardings in 2008, a slight decrease from 631 in 2007, and for the twelve months ending December 2006 the airport recorded about 7,900 aircraft operations, averaging 21 per day, with general aviation accounting for the large majority of movements and air taxi flights making up the remainder. The airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems as a general aviation facility.
The airport remains unattended today, with pilots activating runway lighting, wind cone lights and the rotating beacon via the CTAF as required. Grant Aviation operates scheduled air-taxi services connecting Igiugig with Dillingham, King Salmon and Levelock. Fuel has been reported available at the field during set daytime hours, though pilots should confirm current availability and any prior-permission requirements before planning a visit.
