Unalaska Airport ( IATA: DUT, ICAO: PADU, FAA LID: , called also DUT Dutch Harbor Airport and Tom Madsen Airport ) is the public airport in the city of Unalaska, extending from the island of Unalaska on the north offshore island of Amaknak. The islands are part of the Aleutian Island chain, which lies off the west coast of the U.S. state of Alaska between the Bering Sea and the Pacific. The airport is located on the southwestern shore of Amaknak and 1500 km south-west of the nearest large town Anchorage and 3600 km west-northwest of Seattle.

The city's port is officially referred to as Dutch Harbor. Because of its location near the port, the airport will therefore also called Dutch Harbor Airport.

In 2002, the Government of the port in Alaska named Tom Madsen Airport in order, in memory of Charles Thomas Madsen Sr., a bush pilot, who had arrived in the same year in a plane crash. However, the Federal Aviation Administration retained the original name Unalaska Airport.

The airport runway is limited on one side by the Pacific Ocean, on the other by a mountain, located at both ends of the runway water.

Regularly a commercial airliner of Peninsula Airways, a codeshare partner of Alaska Airlines and Alaska Airlines operates by itself
