Remote Alaskan radar station airport on the Bering Sea coast.

Location
Cape Newenham, United States
Cape Newenham LRRS Airport (IATA: EHM, ICAO: PAEH) is a small military and general aviation facility located at Cape Newenham, Alaska, on the eastern shore of the Bering Sea. It serves the Long Range Radar Site (LRRS) operated by the U.S. Air Force as part of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line successor network in Alaska. The airport is situated in an extremely remote area of southwestern Alaska, accessible primarily by small aircraft. There is no road connection to the site, making air transport the primary means of reaching the installation. The surrounding region is part of the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge. The facility handles limited traffic, primarily supporting military personnel and contractors stationed at the radar site, as well as occasional general aviation operations. Commercial passenger service is not regularly available at this location.

Cape Newenham LRRS Airport is a limited-use military and general aviation facility located at the Cape Newenham Long Range Radar Site on the remote southwestern coast of Alaska. Serving a sparse and isolated region of the state, the airport primarily supports logistics, military operations, and occasional bush flights rather than commercial passenger service. Its location on the rugged Bering Sea coastline makes it one of Alaska's more austere and weather-challenged airfields.

Terminals

Dining

Traveller Tips
