Nome Airport

Nome Airport (IATA: OME, ICAO: PAOM) is a public airport located in Nome, Alaska, serving as the primary air gateway to the Seward Peninsula and surrounding communities on the Bering Sea coast. It is owned and operated by the City of Nome and is critical to the region's transportation infrastructure, as Nome has no road connections to the broader Alaska highway system. The airport handles scheduled passenger service, cargo flights, and general aviation, playing a vital role in supplying Nome and nearby villages year-round. It is also a significant hub for bush planes providing service to remote communities throughout western Alaska. Nome Airport gained historical fame as the finish line of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, which concludes on Front Street in downtown Nome, attracting visitors and media each March.
