About Larsen Bay Airport

Larsen Bay Airport (KLN / PALB) is a state-owned public-use facility managed under the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, serving the small community of Larsen Bay on Kodiak Island. The airport features a single gravel runway measuring approximately 975 m (3,200 ft), which accommodates turboprop aircraft and smaller piston aircraft well-suited to Alaska’s regional operations. Given its unattended status, advance coordination for fuel and ground handling is essential, and Prime Jet Services manages these arrangements on behalf of clients. The airport sees a notable seasonal increase in traffic during the summer salmon fishing season, when private and charter flights bring anglers to access the world-famous Karluk River system. Domestic entry requirements apply, and passengers arriving from within the United States face no customs formalities at KLN.
