✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Craig Seaplane Base (IATA: CGA) is a public seaplane base serving Craig, a fishing and logging community on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. Located in the protected waters of Craig's harbor, it handles floatplane arrivals and departures rather than wheeled aircraft. It provides essential access to the island's road system, nearby Klawock, and remote fishing lodges.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors book floatplane seats early in summer fishing season and keep a weather buffer—Southeast Alaska fog and wind can delay or cancel flights, and small aircraft have strict baggage and weight limits.
🚖 Getting There
Craig is not connected to the mainland road system; visitors typically arrive by Alaska Marine Highway ferry to Hollis (roughly 35 road miles east) or by floatplane directly to the seaplane base. The nearest wheeled airport is Klawock Airport (KLW), about 7 miles northwest, with taxi and rental-car service to Craig. Floatplane arrivals tie up near Craig's downtown/harbor, where local lodges, taxis, and shuttles often meet flights.
