Remote Alaskan airstrip serving the Alaska Peninsula village.

Location

Port Heiden, United States

Port Heiden Airport (IATA: PTH, ICAO: PAPH) is a small general aviation and commuter airport located in Port Heiden, a remote village on the Alaska Peninsula in southwestern Alaska. It serves as a critical transportation link for the local community, which has no road connections to the broader Alaska highway system. The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and operates as a public-use facility. It primarily supports small bush planes and charter services that connect Port Heiden to regional hubs such as King Salmon and Anchorage. Air travel is essentially the only practical means of reaching the community year-round. The surrounding area is known for its proximity to Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve, and the airport occasionally supports access for outdoor recreation and wildlife management activities in the region.
