Remote Aleutian gateway serving Dutch Harbor and Unalaska.
Location
Unalaska, United States
Tom Madsen Airport, designated by IATA code DUT and ICAO code PADU, serves the community of Unalaska and the adjacent port of Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. It is one of the most remote commercial airports in the United States, situated on Amaknak Island amid rugged volcanic terrain and frequently challenging weather conditions.
The airport is a critical lifeline for the region, which is home to one of the busiest fishing ports in the United States by volume. Scheduled passenger and cargo service connects Unalaska to Anchorage, supporting both the local population and the commercial fishing industry. The airport was renamed in honor of Tom Madsen, a local pilot who contributed significantly to aviation in the region.

The airport has a small, single terminal building suited to the modest passenger volumes of this remote community.
