Location

Port Lions, United States

Port Lions Airport (IATA: ORI, ICAO: ORI) is a small general aviation airport serving the community of Port Lions on Kodiak Island, Alaska, United States. It provides essential air access to this remote village, which is not connected to the main road network on Kodiak Island. The airport supports scheduled commuter and charter flights, primarily serving local residents and connecting them to Kodiak city for supplies, medical care, and other services. Small aircraft operations are the norm here, reflecting the rural Alaskan bush flying environment. Port Lions itself is a small community of several hundred residents, and the airport plays a vital role in maintaining connectivity with the broader Kodiak Island region and the Alaska mainland.

Terminals

The airport has no formal terminal building in the traditional sense, operating as a basic rural airstrip with minimal facilities.

Getting to & from
