Military airfield supporting Fort Greely in Alaska's interior.

Location

Delta Junction, United States

Allen Army Airfield (IATA: BIG, ICAO: PABI) is a United States Army airfield located at Fort Greely, near Delta Junction in interior Alaska. It serves as the primary aviation facility for the installation, supporting military operations, training, and logistics in one of the most remote and cold-weather environments in the country. Fort Greely is home to the U.S. Army's Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) missile defense system, and Allen Army Airfield plays a supporting role in sustaining that mission. The airfield handles military transport aircraft, helicopters, and limited general aviation traffic, but does not operate as a commercial passenger facility.
