Cape Lisburne LRRS Airport

Cape Lisburne LRRS Airport (IATA: LUR, ICAO: PALU) is a military Long Range Radar Site (LRRS) airfield located at Cape Lisburne on the Chukchi Sea coast in far northwestern Alaska, United States. It serves the U.S. Air Force radar installation at the cape and provides essential air access to this extremely remote location above the Arctic Circle. The airport has a single gravel runway and handles primarily military and government flights, along with limited general aviation and cargo operations supporting the small population associated with the radar facility. There is no road access to Cape Lisburne, making air transport the only practical means of reaching the site. The facility is part of the broader network of Alaska LRRS stations operated by the U.S. Air Force, which play a role in North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) surveillance. Commercial scheduled service, if available, is extremely limited and typically operated by small regional carriers serving rural Alaska.
