Eareckson Air Station

Eareckson Air Station (PASY) is a medium airport in Shemya, AK. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code PASY or IATA code SYA. It sits in North America.

Eareckson Air Station is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 10,004-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 10,004 ft (3,049 m), a ultra-long-range-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 7500, and Dassault Falcon 8X. In practice this transcontinental and transoceanic operations without performance penalties.

Eareckson Air Station sits near sea level at 95 ft.

Local operations run on America/Adak. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess inventory for PASY updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

Regional fields like PASY are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
