Hydaburg Sea Plane Base

Hydaburg Seaplane Base, serving the small community on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, traces its roots to the mid-20th century and operates with a single seaplane dock and basic passenger facilities rather than multiple terminals. This compact, low-traffic base is an important regional gateway for residents and visitors, offering floatplane links and charter connections to nearby hubs such as Ketchikan and other Southeast Alaska towns. Ground access is limited—most travelers arrive by boat or floatplane—with scheduled regional seaplane operators providing most service. Fares can be higher than at large airports due to remoteness and small operators, and the base is not a hub for major airlines.
