Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport is a public airport located on Japonski Island in southwestern Sitka, Alaska, USA.
The airport is named after Sitka's former mayor Rocky Gutierrez. It features a single terminal with a jetway for the sole jet service provider, Alaska Airlines. There is a single runway that juts off Japonski Island as a paved causeway of sorts. The airport terminal features a restaurant, a gift shop, coffee stand, Alaska Airlines and Harris Air check in (although the later, since the completion of their new hangar, as moved most operations to that space), TSA baggage screening, baggage claim, car rentals, and a secured area for boarding.
The airport also has hangars for air traffic control, Civil Air Patrol, and private enterprises. Coast Guard Air Station Sitka also has a complex attached to the airport for their helicopters but the installation almost never uses runway space for their operations.
Safety hazards include boulders from the causeway washing onto the runway during storms, high winds because of its exposed location, and large flocks of birds that live very close to the airport.
