Island (the airport) and Revillagigedo Island (the city of Ketchikan). There are two departures in every hour in each direction. Ketchikan is itself on an island unconnected to the mainland. However, it lies on the AK-7 state highway, part of the Alaska Marine Highway. The attempt to replace this ferry with a bridge became the object of national attention in 2005 that labeled the proposed bridge the "bridge to nowhere." Proposed road access There is no road access between Ketchikan and the airport. A proposed bridge, referred to by its detractors as the "bridge to nowhere" despite its linking the city and its airport, has been designed with an estimated cost of $398 million. After protracted attention to the cost of the bridge, the U.S. federal government reversed its decision to fund the bridge in 2007. The money was transferred to the state of Alaska to determine the use of the funds. Airlines and destinations Passenger Alaska Airlines flies Boeing 737-700 and 737-800 jetliners into the airport.

The aircraft landed long and too fast. Combined with the sluggish braking from the weather, the pilot decided to perform a go around, even through this was not permitted after the thrust reversers had been deployed. The thrust reversers on the engines didn't fully disengage, so the engines did not produce enough thrust to allow a takeoff. The pilot aborted the takeoff and the aircraft overran the runway by . One of the 50 passengers on board died. The 727 trijet subsequently caught fire and was destroyed. An Aero Vodochody L-39MS high performance jet trainer crashed during approach on January 25, 2006. The aircraft attempted to land in blowing snow and poor visibility, but struck the water three times before regaining some altitude. Witnesses
