## Description

Ocean at both thresholds, a volcano across the sound: the runway of Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport (IATA: SIT, ICAO: PASI) occupies a strip of Japonski Island with the Pacific lapping at each end and Mount Edgecumbe as a backdrop. The airport serves Sitka, once Novo-Arkhangelsk, capital of Russian America until the 1867 handover, and today one of the most valuable fishing ports in the United States. Alaska Airlines includes SIT in its Southeast milk run linking Seattle, Juneau and Anchorage; halibut and sablefish ride south as belly cargo while Alaska Marine Lines barges deliver bulk freight — no road reaches the town. The regional SEARHC hospital adds steady medevac and supply traffic.
