Pevek Airport (Russian: ???????? ?????) (IATA: PWE, ICAO: UHMP) is a civilian airport located 15 km northeast of Pevek. It is located on the coast of the East Siberian Sea, and it is one of the few airports in Russia on the polar route capable of handling aircraft as large as the Boeing 767, and, in case of emergency, even larger planes. It mainly serves medium-sized airliners. Its use for military operations is unknown, but the runway and facilities are adequate for interceptor operations. The airfield elevation is given either as 13 or 14 meters according to various Department of Defense navigation charts.
