About Dillingham Airport

Dillingham Airport serves the city of Dillingham and the wider Bristol Bay region of southwest Alaska. Located at the northern end of Nushagak Bay, near the confluence of the Wood and Nushagak Rivers, it is a regional hub for surrounding communities, many of which rely on air access for medical care, supplies and other services.

The airport was built in the 1950s and later upgraded with a paved runway, which today is the longest runway in western Bristol Bay. Scheduled flights connect Dillingham with Anchorage and smaller communities in the region, making the airport an important link for residents, businesses and visitors travelling to fishing lodges and remote areas.

The airport lies about two nautical miles west of central Dillingham, a short drive from the city centre. Ground transportation options include taxis, private transfers, hotel and lodge shuttles, and rental vehicles, allowing travellers to continue to the city, nearby accommodations and regional destinations.

Facilities are modest, with a single terminal providing check-in, baggage claim, restrooms and limited food and retail services. Despite its small size, the airport plays a vital role in keeping Dillingham and the surrounding Bristol Bay communities connected.
