Talkeetna Airport

Talkeetna Airport (PATK) is a medium airport in Talkeetna, AK. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code PATK or IATA code TKA. It sits in North America.

Talkeetna Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 3,500-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 3,500 ft (1,067 m), a constrained-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the King Air, PC-12, and other short-field turboprops. In practice this restricts most jet operations; turboprops and short-field specialists only.

Talkeetna Airport sits near sea level at 358 ft.

Local operations run on America/Anchorage. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess inventory for PATK 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 PATK 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.

Talkeetna Airport is a state-owned public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.9 km) east of the central business district of Talkeetna, in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska.
