Remote Alaska gateway serving the Bering Sea coast.

Location
Nome, United States
Nome Airport (IATA: OME, ICAO: PAOM) is a public airport located in Nome, Alaska, United States, situated on the Seward Peninsula near the Bering Sea. It serves as a critical transportation hub for the remote region, as Nome is not connected to the state highway system and air travel is the primary means of reaching the community. The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and managed locally. It handles scheduled passenger service as well as cargo, charter, and general aviation operations that are vital to supplying Nome and surrounding villages. The airport also serves as a base for bush flying operations connecting dozens of remote communities in the region. Nome Airport is historically notable as the finish line of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, and the airport sees increased traffic during the annual race in March. The facility operates year-round despite harsh Arctic weather conditions.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building that handles all commercial passenger operations.
Getting to & from
Ground transportation is limited to taxis and rental cars, as Nome has no public bus system or scheduled shuttle service from the airport.
Airlines here
Alaska Airlines provides jet service to Anchorage, while Bering Air and Ravn Alaska offer regional connections to surrounding communities.
