Bob Baker Memorial Airport

Bob Baker Memorial Airport (IATA: IAN, ICAO: PAIK) is a small public-use airport located in Kiana, a remote village in northwestern Alaska, United States. The airport serves as a vital lifeline for the community, providing essential air access to a region with no road connections to the broader Alaskan highway system. The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and operates a single gravel runway suitable for small aircraft. It primarily supports bush flying operations, cargo deliveries, and essential passenger services to and from Kotzebue and other regional hubs. Named in honor of Bob Baker, the airport reflects the tradition of commemorating local figures important to bush aviation and community development in rural Alaska. It plays a critical role in delivering mail, supplies, and medical transport to Kiana's small population.
