Kenai Municipal Airport

Kenai Municipal Airport (PAEN) is a medium airport in Kenai, AK. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code PAEN or IATA code ENA. It sits in North America.

Kenai Municipal 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 7,855 ft (2,394 m), a heavy-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, and Bombardier Global 5500. In practice this most heavy and super-midsize jets operate here without restriction.

Kenai Municipal Airport sits near sea level at 99 ft.

Local operations run on America/Anchorage. 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 PAEN 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 PAEN 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.

Kenai Municipal Airport is a city-owned, public-use airport located in Kenai, a city in the Kenai Peninsula Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska.
