Western Alaska's primary hub for remote community access.

Location

Bethel, United States

Bethel Airport (IATA: BET, ICAO: PABE) is a public airport serving Bethel, Alaska, the largest city in western Alaska. It functions as a critical regional hub connecting dozens of remote Alaska Native villages that have no road access to the rest of the state. The airport is owned and operated by the State of Alaska and sits at an elevation of approximately 126 feet above sea level. It handles a significant volume of cargo and passenger traffic given the region's dependence on air transport for supplies, mail, and medical services.

It serves as a base for several regional carriers operating Essential Air Service routes throughout the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region.
