## Description

Jet service for a village of 450 — but only while the cruise season lasts: Alaska Airlines flies Boeing 737s into Gustavus (IATA: GST, ICAO: PAGS) from Juneau, 48 miles southeast, each summer, while Alaska Seaplanes and other small operators carry the load year-round. The airfield is the gateway to Glacier Bay National Park, whose retreating glaciers have opened a 100-kilometre fjord in barely two centuries. Freight plays no role at GST; supplies reach the roadless community by barge and through Juneau. The destination explains the traffic: whales, ice and one of the quietest corners of Southeast Alaska.
