## Description

Alaska Airlines, Grant Aviation, Alaska Central Express, Everts Air Alaska and Northern Air Cargo are the names that keep Dillingham Airport (DLG/PADL) supplied — a mix of scheduled passenger, regional and all-cargo operators serving a town with no road to the rest of Alaska. The field sits on the western shore of Bristol Bay near the Nushagak River, averages around eleven departures a day and is the community's only year-round access. Alaska Airlines links Anchorage with Embraer 175 equipment, while Grant Aviation and Alaska Central Express fly the regional network toward Bethel, King Salmon and Dutch Harbor. Freight capacity comes from Everts Air Alaska and Northern Air Cargo, carrying fresh salmon out and processing spares, groceries and building materials in; frozen volume leaves Bristol Bay by sea. There is no customs facility at DLG, so international consignments clear at Anchorage (ANC), which is also the transfer point onward to Asia and the Lower 48. The Togiak herring fishery in spring produces a second freight peak, and bush operators distribute from Dillingham to the surrounding villages.
