Overview
Tikchik Lodge Seaplane Base (KTH) sits in Tikchik, Alaska, where it functions as a seaplane base. The field lies at an elevation of 304 feet. The field has no airline schedules, which keeps it focused on private and general aviation flying.
KTH has no resident charter fleet; trips here are typically flown by operators repositioning from surrounding airports. Useful alternates include Koliganek Airport (KGK, 39 nm), Aleknagik / New Airport (WKK, 41 nm), and New Stuyahok Airport (KNW, 45 nm). At 2,000-foot, unpaved, the runway favors turboprops and light general aviation over jet operations.
