Remote Alaska bush airport serving the Seward Peninsula community.

Location

Deering, United States

Deering Airport (IATA: DRG, ICAO: PADE) is a small general aviation and commuter airport serving the village of Deering, Alaska, located on the Seward Peninsula along the Chukchi Sea coast. The airport is a critical lifeline for this remote community, as there are no roads connecting Deering to the broader Alaska highway system. The airport is owned and operated by the State of Alaska and supports essential air service for residents, cargo, mail delivery, and emergency medical transport. Small regional carriers provide scheduled service connecting Deering to nearby villages and larger hubs such as Kotzebue.

Terminals

The airport has minimal terminal facilities consistent with a small Alaska bush airport serving a village population of under 200 residents.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options are extremely limited, as Deering has no road connections to other communities and residents rely on local vehicles or ATVs within the village.

Airlines here

Bering Air provides scheduled and charter service connecting Deering to Kotzebue and other Seward Peninsula communities.
