Gustavus has a state-owned airport with jet capability and two asphalt runways. Alaska Airlines has daily flights in the summer. Commercial air service is partially funded by the Essential Air Service program. Small planes, corporate jets, and air taxi services also use the airport, and float planes land at nearby Bartlett Cove with limited tie-up time. Air traffic is relatively high during peak summer months, and some cruise ships include Glacier bay in their itinerary. The state ferry (Alaska Marine Highway System) provides weekly service from Juneau via the M/V Leconte. A new AMHS dock and corresponding float system provide a docking area for transient vessels only. The harbor has no facilities for overnight or long-term moorage. A 10-mile, state-maintained road connects Bartlett Cove and the community of Gustavus. In 2014 the city was working with the Department of Transportation to make plans for a replacement bridge at Rink Creek. Freight arrives via air or landing craft. Small boats and ferries regularly dock in Gustavus in the summer. Tours are available from Bartlett Cove, Gustavus, and Juneau. Because of the large number of tourists who arrive by boat or plane in the area, Gustavus is considered the gateway to Glacier Bay National Park.
