Air Service
Transportation is essential to economic development, and Sitka is fortunate to
have good access. Alaska Airlines provides multiple daily jet service and access to anywhere on the globe. Local air-freight service is provided through Alaska Airlines, United Parcel Service, Airborne, DHL and Federal Express.


Waterway
Sitka is the only Southeast Alaska port fronting on the Pacific Ocean. By also connecting by water to Southeast Alaska's Inside Passage, Sitka serves as a natural link between overseas ships and domestic trade barge lines. Sitka's marine access is a cost-efficient and safe method of transporting product by barge. The barge lines serving Sitka include Alaska Marine Lines (www.shipaml.com) , Northland Services Marine Transportation (www.northlandservicesinc.com) and Samson Tug & Barge (www.samsontug.com). The Sawmill Cove Industrial Park offers opportunities for future marine facilities and access to its deep-water docks.

Highways
The Alaska Marine Highway System provides regularly scheduled ferry voyages - as well as freight services - on the scenic waters of Southeast Alaska. This cost-efficient transportation system provides an alternative means of access to Sitka and serves as Southeast Alaska's Interstate highway system.
