Wasilla Airport

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

Wasilla Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 3,700-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 3,700 ft (1,128 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.

Wasilla Airport sits near sea level at 354 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 PAWS 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 PAWS 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.

Wasilla Airport is a city-owned public-use airport located about 3.5 miles (6 km) west of the central business district of Wasilla, a city in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska. Wasilla is 17 miles by air and 47 miles by road from Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska.
