## Description

No road reaches Juneau, which is what turns Juneau International Airport (JNU, PAJN) into essential infrastructure for Alaska's capital rather than a convenience. The field handled around 27 million pounds of freight in 2024, a little over 12,000 tonnes. Alaska Airlines links the city to Seattle, Anchorage and the Southeast Alaska «milk run» communities, and floatplanes work the pond beside the runway. On the cargo side Alaska Air Cargo flies express and perishable traffic on Boeing 737 freighters (737-700F and 737-800BCF), connecting Juneau to more than a hundred North American points, while ACE Air Cargo and Alaska Seaplanes feed the smaller communities of the region. Bulk and heavy goods arrive instead by Alaska Marine Lines barge through the Inside Passage, so air and sea split the work between them. The approach threads between mountains and the Gastineau Channel, which makes operations weather-sensitive; Anchorage (ANC), the state's largest cargo airport, and Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) serve as alternates. The Mendenhall Glacier sits within sight of the tower.
