Ruby Airport

Ruby Airport (RBY/PARY) is a small general aviation and commuter airport located in Ruby, Alaska, a remote Athabascan village situated on the south bank of the Yukon River. The airport serves as a critical lifeline for the community, providing essential air access to a village that has no road connections to the broader Alaskan highway system. The airport is owned and operated by the State of Alaska and is classified as a rural community airport. It supports scheduled commuter service, cargo, mail delivery, and medevac operations, all of which are vital to the approximately 150 residents of Ruby. Given Alaska's extreme winters, the airport operates year-round under challenging weather conditions. Ruby is one of many remote Interior Alaska communities dependent entirely on air travel for connections to larger hubs such as Fairbanks. The airport plays an indispensable role in the region's transportation infrastructure.
