Remote Yukon River village gateway in interior Alaska.

Location
Ruby, United States
Ruby Airport (IATA: RBY, ICAO: PARY) is a small public-use airport serving the village of Ruby, Alaska, located on the south bank of the Yukon River in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area. The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and serves as a critical lifeline for this remote community, which has no road connections to the broader Alaska highway system. The airport handles light general aviation and small commuter aircraft, providing essential access for residents, mail, freight, and emergency services. Air travel is the primary means of reaching Ruby, making the airport indispensable to the community's daily life and economic activity.
Terminals
The airport has no formal terminal building; facilities are minimal, consistent with a rural Bush Alaska airport.
Getting to & from
Ground transport within Ruby is limited to local village roads, as the community is not connected to the Alaska road system.
