Dillingham Airport (IATA: DLG, ICAO: PADL, FAA LID: DLG) is a state-owned public-use airport located two nautical miles (4 km) west of the central business district of Dillingham, a city in the Dillingham Census Area of the U.S. state of Alaska.

Facilities and aircraft

Dillingham Airport covers an area of 620 acres (251 ha) at an elevation of 81 feet (25 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 1/19 with a 6,400 x 150 ft (1,951 x 46 m) asphalt pavement.

For the 12-month period ending June 8, 2007, the airport had 50,892 aircraft operations, an average of 139 per day: 72% air taxi, 26% general aviation, 2% scheduled commercial and <1% military. At that time there were 52 aircraft based at this airport, all single-engine.

Airlines and destinations

Dillingham is located at the extreme northern end of Nushagak Bay in northern Bristol Bay, at the confluence of the Wood and Nushagak Rivers, making it the economic and transportation hub of the Bristol Bay region. Bristol Bay is one of the richest fishing grounds in the world, so it is not surprising over 300 residents hold commercial licenses and the harbor serves more than 600 boats. It is also home to four canneries.

The area around Dillingham was long inhabited by both Eskimo and Athabascan groups. In 1818, Alexander Baranof, first governor of Russian America, ordered construction of a permanent post at the mouth of the Nushagak River. Traditionally a Yup'ik Eskimo area, with Russian influences, Dillingham is now a highly mixed population of non-Native and Natives, with 60 percent Alaska Native or part Native. Many traditions are preserved and practiced today and Native arts and crafts abound including grass basketry, ivory carving, Eskimo dolls and masks. The Samuel K. Fox Museum features traditional and contemporary Alaskan arts, crafts and artifacts.
