Holy Cross Airport

Holy Cross Airport (PAHC) is a medium airport in Holy Cross, AK. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code PAHC or IATA code HCR. It sits in North America.

Holy Cross Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

The longest runway measures 4,000 ft (1,219 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.

Holy Cross Airport sits near sea level at 70 ft.

Local operations run on America/Anchorage. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess currently tracks 2 departing and 2 arriving private-jet legs at PAHC across the next six months of operator inventory. 2 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like PAHC are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.

Holy Cross Airport is a state-owned public-use airport located one mile (1.6 km) south of the central business district of Holy Cross, a city in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area of the U.S. state of Alaska.
