One paved runway serves one of America's largest islands: Klawock Airport (IATA: KLW, ICAO: PAKW) holds that distinction on Prince of Wales Island, where Island Air Express flies scheduled routes to Ketchikan and floatplanes fill the gaps. Freight stays off the aircraft — the island inherited a dense logging-road network and relies on the Inter-Island Ferry from Ketchikan to Hollis for goods and vehicles. Klawock itself is a Tlingit village with deep credentials: Alaska's first salmon cannery opened here in 1878, and the village totem park preserves more than twenty historic poles.
