Small Alaska gateway serving the Tlingit community of Hoonah.

Location
Hoonah, United States
Hoonah Airport (IATA: HNH, ICAO: PAOH) is a small public-use airport located in Hoonah, Alaska, on Chichagof Island in the Southeast Alaska panhandle. It serves as a vital air link for the predominantly Tlingit community of Hoonah, which has no road connection to the broader Alaska highway system. The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and operates a single paved runway, supporting small regional aircraft that provide essential passenger and cargo services to this remote community. Given Hoonah's isolation, air travel alongside the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system represents the primary means of reaching the town. Hoonah is also known as the gateway to Icy Strait Point, a cruise ship destination and Alaska Native-owned tourism development, which has increased visitor traffic to the region in recent years.
Terminals
The airport has a basic, small terminal facility consistent with a rural Alaskan community airport with limited passenger amenities.
Getting to & from
Ground transportation options in Hoonah are limited, with local taxis and private vehicles being the primary means of travel between the airport and town.
Airlines here
Alaska Seaplanes and small regional carriers provide scheduled service connecting Hoonah to Juneau and surrounding Southeast Alaska communities.
