Seaplane base serving remote Hollis on Prince of Wales Island.
Location
Hollis, United States
Hollis Clark Bay Seaplane Base (IATA: HYL, ICAO: HYL) is a public seaplane base located in Hollis, Alaska, on the eastern shore of Prince of Wales Island in the Alexander Archipelago of Southeast Alaska. It serves as a vital air transportation link for the small community of Hollis and surrounding areas, which are largely inaccessible by road from the mainland.
The facility accommodates floatplane operations, which are the primary means of scheduled and charter air service in this remote region of Alaska. As with many Southeast Alaska seaplane bases, it plays a critical role in connecting isolated communities to larger hubs such as Ketchikan.
Hollis is also notable for its ferry terminal, which links Prince of Wales Island to Ketchikan via the Alaska Marine Highway System, making the community a transportation hub for the island.
Getting to & from
Hollis is accessible via the Alaska Marine Highway System ferry from Ketchikan, and roads on Prince of Wales Island connect it to other island communities.
