Gateway to Glacier Bay National Park in Southeast Alaska.

Location

Gustavus, United States

Gustavus Airport (GST/PAGS) is a small public-use airport serving the remote community of Gustavus, Alaska, located near the entrance to Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. The airport is owned and operated by the State of Alaska and serves as the primary air access point to a community with no road connections to the broader Alaska highway system. The airport sees seasonal fluctuations in traffic driven largely by tourism to Glacier Bay, one of Alaska's premier wilderness destinations. Alaska Airlines provides scheduled jet service, and smaller regional carriers offer additional connectivity to nearby communities such as Juneau. Due to its remote location and the lack of road access to Gustavus, air travel is essential for residents and visitors alike. The airport plays a critical logistical role in supporting the community year-round.

Terminals

The airport has a single, small terminal building typical of rural Alaskan airports, with basic passenger amenities.

Getting to & from
