Deering Airport

Deering Airport (IATA: DRG) is a small public airport serving the village of Deering, Alaska, established in the mid-20th century (around the 1950s) and featuring a single modest terminal and basic facilities. As a compact regional gateway on Alaska’s Seward Peninsula, DRG connects residents and visitors to larger hubs like Nome and Kotzebue via scheduled regional carriers such as Bering Air and other local operators. Ground access is limited to local roads and seasonal trails, with flights the primary link for supplies and travel. While the airport itself is low-cost and easy to navigate, airfares to this remote destination tend to be higher than average due to distance and limited competition.
