Cordova

Cordova Air Service and fuel 907 424 3289 This is located on the west end of Eyak lake near town. The airport code for the dirt strip is CKU which is also the code for the Seaplane Base. Do not confuse it with the main airport PACV which is about eight miles to the east. Cordova is the main supply point for the copper river delta and Prince William Sound. The other city on Prince William Sound is Valdez which does not have a good seaplane dock. What they do have is Robe Lake which is about 3 miles out of town without a good transportation system into the city other that hitch hiking after walking about a half mile to the road. There is nothing at the lake except the dock.

They have fuel and they are the main hub for getting people around in small airplanes. They support a dirt strip and a float operation. Stay at the Reluctant Fisherman, the rooms are clean, they have a restaurant, bar, and laundry.
