Gateway to Southeast Alaska's Lynn Canal communities.

Location
Haines, United States
Haines Airport (IATA: HNS, ICAO: PAHN) is a small public-use airport serving the borough of Haines in the Alaska Panhandle region of Southeast Alaska. It sits at an elevation of approximately 16 feet above mean sea level and features a single paved runway, accommodating small regional aircraft that connect Haines to Juneau and other nearby communities. The airport is owned and operated by the State of Alaska and plays an essential role in providing air access to a community that is otherwise reachable primarily by the Alaska Marine Highway System ferry or by driving through Canada. Given Haines's remote location and limited road connectivity within the United States, air service is a critical transportation link for residents and visitors alike. Passenger volumes are modest, reflecting the small population of Haines Borough. The airport supports general aviation as well as scheduled regional service, and it serves as an important resource during emergencies and for medical transport in this isolated corner of Southeast Alaska.
Terminals
The airport has a small, single terminal building with basic facilities suited to low-volume regional traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are limited, with personal vehicles and taxis being the primary means of travel between the airport and downtown Haines.

Wings of Alaska has historically provided scheduled regional service connecting Haines to Juneau and other Southeast Alaska destinations.
