As of this winter, Aleutian Airways has officially been awarded the Essential Air Service (EAS) contract to provide regularly scheduled commercial flights from Anchorage to St. Paul Island. On this route, Aleutian Airways flies a Saab 2000 aircraft equipped with 30 seats, a lavatory, and is staffed by a flight attendant. Guests are responsible for booking their own airfares; please see Aleutian Airways’ website for additional information.
In addition to direct flights, travelers can also book with Aleutian Airways to Dutch Harbor and connect from there to St. Paul with one of three or four weekly flights operated by Grant Aviation. Grant Aviation operates a Beechcraft Super King Air 200 on this route, a single pilot, twin-turboprop aircraft seating 8 passengers without a lavatory. Please note that an overnight in Dutch Harbor is usually required when using this routing and that weather can also cause delays or cancellations flying into and out of Dutch Harbor.
We are always happy to answer any questions you might have or help you with group travel planning and coordination.

PLANNING YOUR TRIP 2026 – ALEUTIAN AIRWAYS TO ST PAUL ISLAND
| Flight Number | Frequency | Departure Airport | Arrival Airport | Departure Time | Arrival Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VC1801 | Tue, Thu, Sun | Anchorage | St. Paul Island | 9:30am | 11:50am |
| VC1802 | Tue, Thu, Sun | St. Paul Island | Anchorage | 12:20pm | 2:40pm |
Please note: We recommend that you arrive in Anchorage one day prior to your scheduled departure and allow a minimum two days on your return to Anchorage to make any connecting flights. Weather conditions on the island can be difficult for commercial aviation and may result in overnight delay(s) for your return. It is much easier to have a buffer built into your itinerary rather than be forced to change plans last second when lodging and flight availability can be extremely limited or even nonexistent during the summer tourism season in Alaska. We also highly recommend travel insurance for all of our visitors, which can help recover all additional costs in delays.
