Online Reviews Summary
Recent traveler reviews and experiences at Keperveem Airport (UHMK (KPW)) present a mixed but generally challenging picture, often reflecting its remote location and operational realities. Overall traveler sentiment appears to be tempered by the airport's small size and basic infrastructure, with some significant complaints regarding services and staff attitudes, although very recent detailed accounts are scarce.
What Travelers Love
- Essential Air Links: The airport provides crucial air connections to regional hubs like Magadan and Anadyr, as well as other smaller settlements within Chukotka.
- Capacity for Regional Aircraft: It regularly handles An-24 type aircraft and can even accommodate Il-76 planes during winter, which is vital for the region's logistics.
- Fuel Storage: The airport possesses a substantial fuel storage capacity, which is an important operational strength in such a remote area.
Common Complaints
- Small and Basic Facilities: Travelers consistently describe the airport as very small, comparable to a "village bus station," with limited amenities.
- Flight Delays: There is a significant potential for long flight delays due to adverse weather conditions, a common issue for air travel in the region.
- Poor Staff Service: A notable complaint, particularly from a 2021 review, highlights rude, unhelpful, and unprofessional staff, with issues like damaged luggage and denial of responsibility.
- Complex Ticketing and Boarding: Travelers have noted complicated ticket acquisition schemes and a "boarding by signal" procedure, where passengers wait for confirmation of available seats.
- Gravel Runway: The runway is gravel, which is typical for remote airports but can contribute to operational limitations.
- Limited Transportation Options: While connected to Bilibino by a 40 km gravel road, taxi services can be scarce, and most travelers rely on pre-arranged private transport.
Keperveem Airport serves a vital role in connecting a remote region, but travelers should anticipate a very basic facility with potential operational challenges, particularly concerning weather-related delays and customer service. Due to its isolated location, detailed recent traveler reviews are infrequent, suggesting that experiences largely align with its function as a small, essential regional transport hub.
