Location

Iliamna, United States

Iliamna Airport (ILI/PAIL) serves the small community of Iliamna in southwestern Alaska, situated on the northern shore of Iliamna Lake, the largest lake in Alaska. The airport is a critical transportation hub for residents of the surrounding region, as there are no roads connecting Iliamna to the broader Alaska road system. Operated by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, the airport handles scheduled commuter flights primarily connecting Iliamna to Anchorage. It also supports general aviation, cargo operations, and emergency medical services for the sparsely populated Bristol Bay region. The surrounding area is renowned for world-class sport fishing, particularly for sockeye salmon, and the airport serves as an access point for fishing lodges, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts visiting the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve.

Terminals

The airport has a small, basic terminal facility consistent with rural Alaskan community airports, with limited amenities.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options are extremely limited, as Iliamna has no connection to the state highway system and travel within the community is primarily by local vehicle or ATV.
