Overview
Angoon Seaplane Base (PAGN / AGN) is a seaplane base serving Angoon, 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 AGN for departures. When weather or ramp space demands it, nearby options are Chatham Seaplane Base (CYM, 12 nm), Tenakee Seaplane Base (TKE, 27 nm), and Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport (SIT, 37 nm). With a single 10,000-foot unpaved runway, AGN can typically accommodate aircraft as large as turboprops.
Charter pricing from AGN depends on aircraft category, positioning distance, and trip timing. Compare rated operators or run a route through the cost estimator to gauge pricing from Angoon.
