Remote Alaskan village gateway on the Yukon River.

Location
Holy Cross, United States
Holy Cross Airport (IATA: HCR, ICAO: PAHC) is a small general aviation and commuter airport serving the community of Holy Cross, Alaska, a remote village situated on the Yukon River. The airport provides an essential air link for residents who rely on air transportation as their primary means of travel, as no roads connect Holy Cross to the broader Alaska highway system. The airport features a single gravel runway and is classified as a public-use facility managed under Alaska's rural airport infrastructure. It serves scheduled commuter flights as well as air taxi, cargo, and emergency medical services critical to sustaining life in this isolated community. Given Holy Cross's location in the Yukon-Kuskokwim region, the airport operates under challenging subarctic conditions, including harsh winters and limited daylight. Flight operations are heavily weather-dependent, and the airport plays a vital role in supplying the village with goods, mail, and medical support.
Terminals
The airport has no formal terminal building; a basic shelter facility serves arriving and departing passengers.
Getting to & from
No road connection exists to Holy Cross; ground transport within the village is limited to local paths and all-terrain vehicles.
