Red Devil Airport guide

Red Devil Airport (FAA identifier RDV) is a public-use gravel airstrip one nautical mile northwest of the centre of Red Devil, a village on the Kuskokwim River in the Bethel Census Area of southwestern Alaska. It covers 311 acres at an elevation of 174 feet. The community had 22 residents at the 2020 census, and the village takes its name from the Red Devil Mercury Mine, which operated from the 1920s until 1971.

The airport has a single gravel runway, 10/28, about 4,800 feet long and 75 feet wide. The surface is rated fair, with washboarded and rough sections. The field is unattended, has no control tower and no published instrument procedures, and night operations are limited to helicopters. Pilots use the common traffic frequency 122.8 and are advised to inspect the runway before landing.

No road links Red Devil to the main Alaska road network, so small aircraft are the main year-round connection to the rest of the region. There is no passenger terminal and no ground services at the field.
