Remote Alaskan bush airport serving the Platinum community.

Location

Platinum, United States

Platinum Airport (IATA: PTU, ICAO: PAPM) is a small public-use airport located in Platinum, a remote village in the Bethel Census Area of southwestern Alaska, United States. The airport serves as a vital air link for this isolated community on the Alaska Peninsula, providing essential access to goods, services, and medical transport. The airport is owned and operated by the state of Alaska and is typical of bush airports in the region, serving small propeller-driven aircraft. It is accessible only by air, as there are no roads connecting Platinum to the broader Alaskan highway system.

Terminals

The airport has no formal terminal building; it operates as a basic bush airstrip with minimal facilities.

Getting to & from
