Remote Pribilof Islands gateway serving St George Island.
Location
St George, United States
St George Airport (IATA: STG, ICAO: PAPB) is a small public-use airport located on St George Island, one of the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea, Alaska. It serves as the primary air link for the remote community of St George, which has a population of fewer than 100 residents.
The airport is owned by the State of Alaska and operates under challenging subarctic conditions, including frequent fog, strong winds, and limited visibility that can disrupt flight schedules. Due to its extreme remoteness, air travel is the only practical means of reaching the island.
PenAir (now largely replaced by other regional carriers) has historically provided scheduled service connecting St George to St Paul Island and the Alaska mainland, particularly King Salmon or Anchorage.
Terminals
The airport has a basic, small terminal facility appropriate for its very low passenger volume.
Getting to & from
