Pevek Airport guide

Pevek Airport serves Pevek, the northernmost town in Russia's Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and a port on the East Siberian Sea. The field lies on the coast near the former village of Apapelgino, about 18 km from the town. Air service in Pevek dates from 1939, and it is one of the main links to the outside world for a community cut off from the road network.

The airport has a single reinforced-concrete runway, 17/35, measuring 2,500 by 42 metres. The current runway entered service in late December 1978. The two-storey stone terminal was built in 1984 and replaced a single-storey wooden building, which now houses a hotel. The airport is run by the federal state enterprise Airports of Chukotka.

Scheduled flights are sparse. Yakutia Airlines flies to Moscow Vnukovo, with a fuel stop at Nizhnevartovsk, and to Yakutsk. S7 Airlines serves Novosibirsk and IrAero flies to Magadan. Chukotavia links Pevek with Anadyr, Keperveyem, Mys Shmidta and Ayon. Traffic stood at about 24,400 passengers in 2021.
