Arctic Directory: State-of-the-art aviation center opens in Alaska

Fairweather LLC, an Anchorage-based provider of remote medical, meteorological and expediting services, said Aug. 16 that its new aviation facility on Alaska’s North Slope is now open.

Deadhorse Aviation Center is designed to provide oil companies and their suppliers with a safe and efficient aviation command center to successfully manage onshore operations and outer continental shelf exploration and production activities on the Arctic Ocean and Beaufort Sea.

DAC is located at the FAA-approved Deadhorse Airport with access to the Dalton Highway and the ocean. Facilities are available for lease to companies working on the North Slope in need of terminal and hangar facilities, logistics support, staging and storage, office space and accommodations for sleeping and dining. The 21,000-square-foot aircraft hangar accommodates two to three large helicopters or smaller fixed-wing aircraft. A secure logistics facility offers complete cargo handling services and a 10.4-acre staging and storage yard. DAC offers multiple offices ready for build-out to suit tenants’ needs, along with a design for a multi-modal incident command center that can be shared or utilized by a single tenant.

The DAC terminal complies with all TSA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection requirements, offering passenger and baggage screening and secure baggage and cargo handling for both onshore and offshore operations and is wholly owned by Offshore Support Services LLC, an Edison Chouest Company, Fairweather LLC and the Kaktovik Inupiat Corp.
