Petersburg James A Johnson Airport guide

Petersburg James A. Johnson Airport (ICAO PAPG, FAA PSG) is a state-owned public airport about one nautical mile southeast of downtown Petersburg, on Mitkof Island in Southeast Alaska. Petersburg has no road link to the mainland highway system, so the airport and the Alaska Marine Highway ferry are the town's two ways in and out.

The airport has a single asphalt runway, 5/23, which measures 6,400 by 150 feet. That length is enough for Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 jets, which serve the town on the Southeast Alaska milk run with stops at Juneau and Wrangell. Alaska Seaplanes adds smaller-aircraft flights to Juneau, Kake, Sitka and Wrangell.

The airport recorded 25,209 enplanements in 2024, up from 24,921 in 2023. Aircraft operations were put at about 13,500 for the 12 months ending December 2017. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Southeast Region, operates the field. All scheduled flights are domestic, and passengers use a single small terminal building.
