Remote Alaska Coast Guard station serving Port Clarence.

Location
Port Clarence, United States
Port Clarence Coast Guard Station Airport (IATA: KPC, ICAO: PAPC) is a small general aviation facility located near Port Clarence, Alaska, on the Seward Peninsula. It primarily serves the U.S. Coast Guard installation in the area and provides essential air access to this extremely remote region of western Alaska. The airport sits in a harsh arctic environment along the shores of Port Clarence Bay, a large natural harbor on the Bering Sea coast. Given its remote location, air transport is the primary means of reaching the area, as there are no roads connecting Port Clarence to the broader Alaska road network. The facility supports limited general aviation and bush flying operations typical of rural Alaska. It is not served by scheduled commercial airline service and functions mainly as a utility airstrip for government and emergency operations.
