Seaplane gateway to Angoon on Admiralty Island, Alaska.

Location
Angoon, United States
Angoon Seaplane Base (IATA: AGN, ICAO: PAGN) is a public-use seaplane base serving the community of Angoon, located on Admiralty Island in Southeast Alaska. The facility provides essential air access to this remote Tlingit community, which has no road connections to the broader Alaska highway system. The seaplane base supports float-equipped aircraft operations on the waters near Angoon, making it a critical link for residents needing to travel to larger communities such as Juneau. Air service is primarily provided by small regional carriers operating scheduled and charter flights. Because Angoon is only accessible by air or water, the seaplane base plays a vital role in the community's transportation infrastructure, supporting mail delivery, medical access, and general commerce.
Getting to & from
There is no road system in Angoon, so water taxi and walking are the primary means of local transport after arriving at the seaplane base.

Gateway to Admiralty Island's wild and remote coastal wilderness

Angoon Seaplane Base serves the small Tlingit community of Angoon on Admiralty Island in Southeast Alaska, one of the most remote and wildlife-rich corners of the United States. Operating as a floatplane facility on Kootznoowoo Inlet, it connects this roadless village to the broader Southeast Alaska network, primarily through seaplane services from Juneau. The base plays a vital role in sustaining daily life for residents who depend on air access for supplies, medical transport, and travel.

Terminals

Ground Transport
  • On-foot access to the village of Angoon (short walking distance)
  • Local taxi or community vehicle by prior arrangement
  • State ferry service (Alaska Marine Highway) via nearby Angoon ferry terminal
Nearby Hotels

Dining

There are no dining facilities at the seaplane base itself. The small village of Angoon has very limited food service options, and travellers are strongly advised to bring their own provisions or arrange meals in advance with local hosts or lodges.

Traveller Tips
  • Book seaplane flights well in advance as capacity is extremely limited and schedules depend on weather.
  • Angoon is a damp community — alcohol importation is restricted, so be aware of local regulations before arriving.
  • Pack for Southeast Alaska's unpredictable rain and fog, which can delay floatplane operations without notice.
  • Admiralty Island is a premier bear-viewing destination; contact the U.S. Forest Service for permits and guided access before your trip.
