Location

Haines, United States

Haines Airport (IATA: HNS, ICAO: PAHN) is a small public-use airport serving the community of Haines, Alaska, situated in the southeastern panhandle of the United States. The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and provides essential air access to a community that is otherwise reachable primarily by ferry or a lengthy road trip through Canada. The airport features a single paved runway and supports general aviation as well as scheduled regional air service. It plays a critical role in connecting Haines residents to larger hubs such as Juneau, particularly during periods when ferry service or road travel is impractical due to weather or seasonal conditions.

Terminals

The airport has a small, simple terminal building typical of rural Alaskan airports, with minimal facilities reflecting the community's modest population.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options are limited, with private vehicles and taxis being the primary means of traveling between the airport and downtown Haines.
