## Description

Drill pipe, valves, compressors, crew rotations: the freight profile of Deadhorse Airport (IATA: SCC, ICAO: PASC) reads like an oilfield inventory. The airstrip serves Prudhoe Bay, North America's largest oil field, where Alaska Airlines provides scheduled service from Anchorage and Fairbanks and charters shuttle workers to the slope. Alaska Air Cargo handles freight through the shared Deadhorse Aviation Center, which is being expanded with additional cargo space and a second jetway for rising passenger and freight volumes. Anything too heavy or not urgent enough trucks up the Dalton Highway — the 800-kilometre haul road from Fairbanks — while critical spares come in by air, whatever the weather. Deadhorse is less a town than an industrial camp with beds, and polar bears occasionally wander near the runway. For logistics planners, SCC and the Dalton form a textbook road-air modal split at 70 degrees north.
