Deering Airport (Iñupiaq: Ipnatchiam Mirvia) is a state-owned public-use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) southwest of the central business district of Deering, a city in the Northwest Arctic Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned DEE by the FAA and DRG by the IATA.[2] The airport's ICAO identifier is PADE.[3]
Deering Airport covers an area of 262acres at an elevation of 21 feet (6 m) above mean sea level. It has two gravel surfaced runways: 2/20 measures 3,300 by 75 feet (1,006 x 23 m) and 11/29 is 2,640 by 75 feet (805 x 23 m).
Prior to its bankruptcy and cessation of all operations, Ravn Alaska served the airport from multiple locations.
