Akutan Seaplane Base


Akutan Seaplane Base is a public use seaplane base located in Akutan, a city on Akutan Island in the Aleutians East [Borough, Alaska|Aleutians East Borough] of the U.S. state of Alaska. Scheduled seaplane service was subsidized by the Essential Air Service program until late 2012 when PenAir retired their Grumman Goose amphibious aircraft and a new land-based airport on neighboring Akun Island was built. The new airport is known as Akutan Airport.
As per Federal [Aviation Administration] records, the airport had 1,346 passenger boardings in calendar year 2008, 1,200 enplanements in 2009, and 1,246 in 2010. It is included in the National Plan of [Integrated Airport Systems] for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation airport.
