Overview
Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport (PASI / SIT) sits in Sitka, Alaska, where it functions as a mid-sized airport. The airport sits 21 feet above sea level. Alongside scheduled airline service, the airport handles a steady flow of private and charter traffic.
No charter operator is headquartered on the field, but operators routinely position aircraft into SIT for departures. When weather or ramp space demands it, nearby options are Chatham Seaplane Base (CYM, 31 nm), Angoon Seaplane Base (AGN, 37 nm), and Tenakee Seaplane Base (TKE, 44 nm). With a single 7,200-foot paved runway, SIT can typically accommodate aircraft as large as VIP airliners.
