| | Alaska Journal of Commerce: Russian Far East looks to Nome-based airline as service model 05/06/01 |
 | | The consideration for application for scheduled service to Anadyr, Provideniya and Lavrentiya across the Bering Strait from Alaska and Chukotka triggered a press release from Alaska Gov. Tony Knowles and Chukotka Gov. Roman Abromovich on April 20. |
 | | According to Rowe, the population of Provideniya has dropped from 20,000 to between 3,000 and 4,000 and the town of Ureleki, where the airport is located, on the east side of Provideniya Bay is uninhabited. |
 | | Rowe's Bering Air, which has operated for 13 years over the strait to Provideniya, Anadyr, Pevek and other remote destinations, was picked because of its success at obtaining Russian permits for charter flights between the two continents, according to Jeff Berliner, Russian Far East trade specialist for the state Department of Community and Economic Development. |
