About AKST
AKST (Alaska Standard Time) is the standard time zone used across most of Alaska, United States. The time zone offset of AKST is UTC−09:00, which means it is 9 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Alaska Standard Time is observed during the winter months. During daylight saving time, most areas that use AKST switch to Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT), which operates at UTC−08:00.
AKST is used in major Alaskan cities including Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan. It helps maintain a consistent time standard across the state’s vast geographic region.
