The IFA greatly appreciates that the AMHS M/V Lituya will help us get our stranded customers from last weekend and get as many people and vehicles as possible to their destination who were booked to travel with the IFA between May 28 and June 11, 2020.
We will have 1 round trip sailing departing KETCHIKAN at 8:00AM then departing HOLLIS at 12:00PM on Thursday May 28 and on Saturday May 30, 2020 to transport those effected by the disruption in IFA ferry service May 22 through May 25, 2020. The Lituya doesn’t hold as many vehicles or passengers as the IFA ferry so we are using these 2 sail days to take care of the back log of bookings from last weekend only; no new bookings until stranded customers are taken care of. IFA Agents will be contacting you to rebook for these 2 sailings in the order of who was booked first to last.
We will have 1 round trip sailing departing KETCHIKAN at 10:45 AM then departing HOLLIS at 2:45 PM on Thursday June 4, Friday June 5, Saturday June 6 and Thursday June 11, 2020 to transport those who were already booked for travel between May 28 and June 11, 2020. IFA Agents will be contacting you to see if you would like to rebook for these June sailing dates, and this will be handled in order of who was booked first to last.
Please note that we are prioritizing these sail days for transporting those customers who were already booked with us for travel prior to June 12, 2020. IFA Agents will contact all of you who are still trying to get to your final Hollis or Ketchikan destination. We have an order of who was booked first to last and will call you in that order to get you rebooked. Please do not call us until we can get through this process as it will only delay our progress. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Once we have taken care of the travel needs of everyone who was booked between May 22 and June 11, 2020, THEN we will take bookings for people and vehicles who do not have a reservation already. When a sailing becomes available to everyone to book, a notice will be posted to our IFA Website and IFA Facebook immediately. Online booking and new bookings will be closed until we have taken care of all those who were already reserved and effected by the recent mechanical events. Thank you and the IFA extends its apologies to our valued customers for the inconveniences this has caused anyone and appreciate your patience as we work through this difficult time.
