About Ruby Airport
Ruby Airport is the public-use airport serving Ruby, a small Athabascan village of about 160 residents on the south bank of the Yukon River in interior Alaska. Located roughly 230 miles west of Fairbanks, the airport provides the community's main year-round air link.
The airport was activated in September 1947 and is owned by the State of Alaska, operated by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities Northern Region. It has a single gravel runway, Runway 03/21, measuring 4,000 by 100 feet, along with a small passenger terminal.
Scheduled passenger service is provided by regional carriers such as Wright Air Service, with flights connecting Ruby to Galena, Tanana, and Fairbanks. The airport is unattended and has no control tower, so pilots coordinate movements on the common traffic advisory frequency.
Located about one mile southeast of the village, the airport is reached by local road. Passenger facilities are modest, so visitors should plan for limited services and arrange onward travel in advance.
