Remote Alaskan radar station airstrip in the western interior.

Location

Sparrevohn, United States

Sparrevohn LRRS Airport (IATA: SVW, ICAO: PASV) is a small, remote airfield located in western Alaska, United States, near the Sparrevohn Long Range Radar Site. The airport sits at an elevation of approximately 1,585 feet above sea level and serves primarily military and government logistics functions associated with the radar installation. The facility is not a commercial passenger airport and sees very limited traffic, consisting mainly of cargo, fuel, and personnel flights supporting the remote radar site. Access to the area is extremely difficult, with no road connections to the broader Alaskan highway system. The airport is operated in conjunction with the U.S. Air Force radar surveillance network and plays a role in North American aerospace defense infrastructure. Its remote location in the Alaskan wilderness makes it dependent entirely on air transport for all supplies and personnel movements.
