Because the international airport is on an island separated from Ketchikan, a ferry connects the airport to the city.
The ferry leaves from alternately Gravina Island or Revillagigedo Island every thirty minutes during fall and winter and early spring, and every fifteen minutes during late spring and summer.
It crosses Tongass Narrows with passengers and vehicles.
The attempt to replace this ferry with a bridge became the object of national attention in 2005 that labeled the bridge the "bridge to nowhere."
The ferry is one of three ferries that services Ketchikan daily.
