Tom Madsen (Dutch Harbor) Airport

Tom Madsen (Dutch Harbor) Airport (PADU) is a medium airport in Unalaska, AK. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code PADU or IATA code DUT. It sits in North America.

Tom Madsen (Dutch Harbor) Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

The longest runway measures 4,500 ft (1,372 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.

Tom Madsen (Dutch Harbor) Airport sits near sea level at 22 ft.

Local operations run on America/Nome. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess inventory for PADU updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

Regional fields like PADU are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
