Gateway to Klawock on Alaska's Prince of Wales Island.

Location

Klawock, United States

Klawock Airport (KLW/PAKW) is a small public-use airport serving the community of Klawock on Prince of Wales Island in southeast Alaska. It is owned and operated by the City of Klawock and provides essential air access to a region with limited road and no ferry connections to the Alaska mainland. The airport supports scheduled commuter and charter flights, playing a vital role in connecting Klawock and nearby communities to larger hubs such as Ketchikan. Given the remote nature of Prince of Wales Island, air travel is a primary means of transportation for residents and visitors alike. The surrounding area is known for fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation, and the airport serves as an important entry point for sportsmen and tourists visiting the island's forests and waters.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building typical of rural Alaskan community airports with minimal facilities.

Getting to & from

Ground transportation options are limited; rental vehicles and private cars are the primary means of travel from the airport into Klawock and surrounding communities.

Airlines here

Harris Air and other small regional carriers have historically provided scheduled service connecting Klawock to Ketchikan.
