Access to Other Public Aviation Facilities:
Description: Akutan is only accessible by boat and amphibious aircraft. The land-based Akutan Airport was opened in September 2012 on Akun Island, and services Akutan by a helicopter. Daily scheduled air service is provided by Grant Aviation from nearby Dutch Harbor/Unalaska, and is subsidized by the Essential Air Service. The state ferry M/V Tustumena serves Akutan on its westbound route to Dutch Harbor and its eastbound route to Homer during the months of April and October. Akutan is the second largest seafood port in north America. Akutan has a 100-foot public dock and a 58-vessel mooring basin and breakwater was completed by the Army Corps of Engineers in September 2013. Trident Seafoods owns several commercial docks. In 2013, the city applied for ARRA funding for a two-mile harbor access road, with the purpose of connecting the village/city of Akutan with the Trident Seafoods shore plant and the harbor.
