Pevek Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Певек) (IATA: PWE, ICAO: UHMP) is a civilian airport located 15 km northeast of Pevek. It is located on the coast of East Siberian Sea and 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 services 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.
