Seldovia Airport (PASO/SOV) is a small state-owned airfield serving the fishing community of Seldovia on the southern shore of Kachemak Bay, Alaska, about 15 miles south-southwest of Homer across the bay. It offers a single hard-surfaced runway and modest general aviation and air-taxi traffic, making it a straightforward but scenic VFR destination for pilots exploring the lower Kenai Peninsula.
Seldovia Airport is a small public-use aerodrome serving the town of Seldovia on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. It is owned and operated by the State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF), Central Region, and provides the town's principal air link, since Seldovia has no road connection to the rest of the Alaska highway system. For a visiting VFR pilot, the appeal lies in its compact single-runway layout set against the dramatic backdrop of Kachemak Bay and the surrounding Kenai mountains.
The airfield lies in uncontrolled airspace on the Kenai Peninsula, within the Kenai Peninsula Borough, about 15 miles south-southwest of Homer. Seldovia and Homer are separated by Kachemak Bay, an arm of the Gulf of Alaska. The airport sits less than half a mile northeast of Seldovia's small boat harbour, with a gravel road, Airport Avenue, connecting the field to the town centre.
Seldovia Airport has one physical runway, 16/34, with a hard surface measuring 2,581 feet in length. There is no ILS or other instrument approach equipment associated with the field.
No communications frequencies are published for Seldovia Airport, and it has no instrument approach procedures or associated navaids. Pilots should expect to operate on a self-announce basis in the local area.
The airfield is easily identified by its position just northeast of Seldovia's small boat harbour, with Airport Avenue running roughly half a mile from the runway into the town centre. Kachemak Bay, separating Seldovia from Homer to the north-east, is a prominent landmark for orientation when approaching from across the water.
Seldovia Airport has long served as the aviation lifeline for the town, which lacks road access to the wider Alaska highway network. Federal Aviation Administration data from the mid-2000s recorded the field as a single gravel-era airstrip handling a modest but steady flow of general aviation and air-taxi traffic, reflecting its role as a rural community's connection to Homer and beyond.
In the mid-2000s the airport recorded around 5,660 aircraft operations annually, averaging about 15 per day, with roughly 62 percent general aviation and 38 percent air-taxi movements. Fifteen aircraft were based at the field at that time, all but one of them single-engine types. The airport remains state-owned and continues to support general aviation and air-taxi services connecting Seldovia to Homer and other Kenai Peninsula communities.
