About AKT

AKT (Alaska Time) is the time standard used in most parts of Alaska, United States. The time zone offset of AKT is UTC-09:00 during standard time, which means it is 9 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Alaska Time follows daylight saving time. During the summer months, clocks are moved forward by one hour and the time zone is observed as Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT), with a UTC offset of UTC-08:00.

AKT is used in major Alaskan cities such as Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan. It helps maintain a consistent time standard across most of the state despite Alaska’s large geographic area.
