## Description

The «Bridge to Nowhere» was never built — so every passenger still rides a ferry across the Tongass Narrows to reach Ketchikan International Airport (IATA: KTN, ICAO: PAKT) on Gravina Island. Alaska's fifth-busiest airport serves the self-proclaimed Salmon Capital of the World, first stop on Alaska Airlines' Southeast milk run between Seattle and Juneau. Alongside Boeing 737-700 passenger jets, Alaska Air Cargo operates converted 737-700F freighters, flying fresh seafood south — shellfish has reached as far as Sydney (SYD). Alaska Marine Lines barges carry bulk freight up the Inside Passage. In summer cruise ships line the waterfront and Ketchikan's floatplane fleet, one of the densest anywhere, shuttles visitors over the Misty Fjords.
