Haines Airport Guide

Haines Airport (ICAO PAHN, FAA HNS) is a public-use airport three nautical miles west of Haines, on the Haines Highway beside the Chilkat River. It covers 124 acres at an elevation of about 15 feet and is owned by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. The airport is unattended, and fuel is available by phone.

The single asphalt runway, 8/26, measures 4,000 by 100 feet and carries medium-intensity edge lights, runway end identifier lights and a PAPI on both ends. A 40 by 40 foot helipad sits beside it. The FAA lists the field as active since February 1947.

Traffic is mostly air taxi. Of the 5,700 aircraft operations counted in 2006, 79 percent were air taxi, 19 percent general aviation and 2 percent military. Alaska Seaplanes operates scheduled flights from Haines to Juneau and Skagway. Harris Air began flying between Haines and Juneau in late December 2017.
