Holy Cross Airport — Holy Cross, United States

HCR is Holy Cross Airport, serving the small Alaska Native village of Holy Cross along the Yukon River in remote western Alaska. The airport is a critical lifeline for this isolated community, as no road network connects it to the rest of the state, making air travel the primary means of transporting passengers, mail, groceries, and medical supplies year-round. HCR supports small bush plane operations typical of rural Alaska, with services often subsidized through the Essential Air Service program. The village itself has deep Alaska Native heritage, and HCR underscores how vital small airstrips are to sustaining life in Alaska's roadless interior region.
