There was a smaller carrier, Alaska Seaplanes, connecting Whitehorse and Juneau. It was too pricey for joyrides, and COVID killed that route, too.

Indeed, it is a shame that there is no more cross-border service from Whitehorse. It was a thing many years ago. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the big hurdle is. Is Alaska Airlines not interested in having Air North as a feeder? Is the Canadian border checkpoint in Whitehose too expensive to staff? Is it the processing times with US CBP in Fairbanks or Anchorage?

This also works in reverse and is called the Connector Fare. You can connect the same day, but Air North is fine with up to 3 days layover. (If you book less then 7 days out, the fee is not $99 but $150 oneway.)
This is one of the best offers in the Canadian market.
