Overview
Moser Bay Seaplane Base, listed as KMY, is a seaplane base in Moser Bay, Alaska. Alongside scheduled airline service, the airport handles a steady flow of private and charter traffic.
No charter operator is headquartered on the field, but operators routinely position aircraft into KMY for departures. When weather or ramp space demands it, nearby options are Akhiok Airport (AKK, 5 nm), Alitak Seaplane Base (ALZ, 8 nm), and Olga Bay Seaplane Base (KOY, 9 nm). With a single 10,000-foot unpaved runway, KMY can typically accommodate aircraft as large as turboprops.
