HCR Airport (Holy Cross Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

For the roughly 175 residents of Holy Cross, an Athabascan village on Ghost Creek Slough just off the Yukon River, Holy Cross Airport (IATA: HCR, ICAO: PAHC) is the only year-round link to the outside world, carrying mail, groceries and medicine. The state-owned, public-use field sits about one and a half kilometres south of the village and is operated by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. Its single runway 01/19 is gravel and dirt, measuring 1,219 by 30 metres — workable for light turboprops, but ruling out jets and dedicated freighters. Ravn Alaska and Ryan Air Services serve the airport with connections to communities such as Aniak and Anvik, and freight travels as combined passenger and cargo loads; there is no cargo terminal and no customs post. No road connects Holy Cross to the Alaskan highway network, so heavy and bulky goods arrive by river barge on the Yukon during the ice-free months while anything urgent, and everything in winter, goes by air. Upstream, shipments are consolidated at Anchorage (ANC), Alaska's principal cargo airport, and transferred through the regional hubs of Bethel (BET) and Aniak (ANI) onto small aircraft.
