## Description

Roughly 40 tonnes of inbound air freight in a documented year, and not a single outbound shipment accepted: that is the freight profile of Gustavus Airport (IATA: GST, ICAO: PAGS), the gateway to Glacier Bay National Park in Southeast Alaska. Alaska Airlines holds about 80 per cent of scheduled capacity and runs Boeing 737 jets from Juneau seasonally between July and September, while Alaska Seaplanes and other small operators serve the community of some 450 residents year-round. The Alaska Air Cargo station here handles inbound freight only, and volumes consist mainly of perishables, mail and supplies for the village and the national park; the field does not appear in FAA all-cargo landed weight reporting. There is no road link to the outside world, so heavy goods, construction materials and fuel arrive by barge via Juneau, about 77 kilometres away and the nearest transhipment point. For time-critical or outbound shipments the practical alternatives are Juneau (JNU) and, for the wider region, Sitka (SIT). No customs clearance for international consignments takes place at Gustavus.
