Location

Juneau, United States

Juneau International Airport (JNU/PAJN) serves as the primary commercial airport for Juneau, the capital city of Alaska. Situated on a narrow coastal strip between Gastineau Channel and steep mountain terrain, the airport operates under some of the most challenging weather conditions in the United States, with frequent fog, low ceilings, and precipitation affecting flight operations year-round. The airport is owned and operated by the City and Borough of Juneau and handles approximately 500,000 passengers annually. Because Juneau has no road connections to the rest of the Alaska highway system, air travel is essential for residents and visitors, making the airport a critical piece of infrastructure for the region. The facility supports both commercial jet service and a large volume of floatplane and charter operations serving the surrounding Southeast Alaska communities. It also plays a significant role during the cruise ship tourism season, when passenger volumes surge substantially.

Terminals

The airport operates a single terminal building with a compact concourse serving all commercial airline gates.

Getting to & from

Ground transportation options include taxis, rental cars, and local Capital Transit bus service connecting the airport to downtown Juneau.

Airlines here
