## Description

PWE and ICAO UHMP identify the airport at Apapelgino that keeps Pevek — the northernmost town in Russia — supplied year-round. In the Chukotka region on the East Siberian Sea, the town's seaport handles Northern Sea Route traffic only during the short Arctic summer, so aircraft carry the food, medicine and mining equipment the Chaunsky district needs once the ice closes in. There is no significant cargo terminal: freight moves as belly cargo and special consignments on the links to Anadyr (IATA: DYR), Magadan and Moscow. The Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear plant has powered the town and its gold-mining industry since 2020. For larger air-cargo volumes, the regional hub at Anadyr is the nearest option.
