Soldotna Airport

Soldotna Airport, bearing the code SXQ, is a small public-use airfield located on the Kenai Peninsula in south-central Alaska, near the city of Soldotna. It primarily serves general aviation traffic, including private pilots, air taxi operators, and seasonal fishing tourists drawn to the famous salmon runs on the nearby Kenai River. The airport has a single gravel or paved runway and lacks scheduled commercial airline service, relying instead on charter operations and personal aircraft.
