Provideniya Bay Airport ( _ru. Аэропорт «Бухта Провидения») airport codes|PVS|UHMD (also Urelik and Ureliki) is a small airport in Chukotka, Russia located 3 km southwest of Provideniya. It services primarily small transport aircraft. A concrete apron contains four parking spaces. It is not adequate for military operations but there are anecdotal reports that it has received Tupolev Tu-95MR deployment flights as part of military exercises. Moreover, on 25 July 2005 a Swedish Airforce C-130 Hercules landed in Provideniya, bringing in an international research team from the [http://www.polar.se/beringia2005/eng/index.html Beringia 2005] expedition, organized by the [http://www.polar.se/english/index.html Swedish Polar Research Secretariat] .This airport was famous for the 1988 flight of Alaska Airlines known as the
Friendship Flight at that time. Alaska also used to serve the town until 1998.
