## Description

Drill pipe, valves, compressor parts and crew rotations: the freight profile of Deadhorse Airport (IATA: SCC, ICAO: PASC) reads like an oilfield inventory. The state-owned field on Alaska's North Slope serves Prudhoe Bay, North America's largest oil field, with daily freight and passenger service to Anchorage, Fairbanks and Utqiagvik, and it underpins Trans-Alaska Pipeline System operations. Alaska Airlines flies the scheduled legs and Alaska Air Cargo lists Prudhoe Bay as its own network station; the carrier is adding four freighters, roughly doubling freighter capacity across a network that reaches the Arctic stations. Anything heavy or non-urgent trucks up the Dalton Highway, some 800 kilometres and about 15 hours from Fairbanks, which makes SCC a textbook road-air modal split at 70 degrees north. Shipments from overseas are normally consolidated and cleared through customs at Anchorage (ANC) before the final leg north, with Fairbanks (FAI) the alternative for combined air-road routings. Alaska's DOT&PF has a draft Deadhorse Airport Master Plan in public review covering runway, apron and terminal-area layout. Deadhorse is an industrial camp rather than a town, and polar bears occasionally wander near the runway.
