Cold Bay Airport (IATA: CDB, ICAO: PACD) is an airport in Cold Bay, Alaska. It is one of the main airports serving the Alaska Peninsula.
Cold Bay's main runway is the fifth-largest in Alaska and was built during World War II. Today, it is used by scheduled cargo flights (Alaska Central Express and Evergreen International Airlines), and is sometimes used as an emergency diversion airport for passenger flights across the Pacific Ocean.[1]
Six aircraft are based permanently at the airport. Air taxi operators fly in and out of the airport daily.
