AIRPORTS
Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (IATA: SEA, ICAO: KSEA, FAA LID: SEA), also known as Sea–Tac, is the primary commercial airport serving the Seattle metropolitan area in Washington, United States. It is in the city of SeaTac, about 13 miles (21 kilometers) south of downtown Seattle. The Port of Seattle owns and operates the airport, which is the largest in North America's Pacific Northwest region. The airport serves cities in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. It serves as the primary hub for Alaska Airlines and its regional subsidiary, Horizon Air, whose headquarters are located nearby. Delta Air Lines has used Sea-Tac as a hub and international gateway to Asia and Europe since 2011. The airport is the 28th busiest in the world by passenger traffic, with over 45 million passengers served in 2016, and is one of the fastest growing in the United States and the world. Based on 16,121,123 enplanements in 2012, it is classified as a primary commercial service (large hub) airport in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2015–2019. The airport generates the most vehicle trips in the state, and its 13,000-car parking garage is North America's largest under one roof. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Anchorage, Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Chicago are the busiest domestic destinations from Seattle–Tacoma. Vancouver, Seoul, London, Dubai, and Tokyo are the busiest international destinations. Alaska Airlines serves 40% of the traffic, Delta Air Lines serves 15%, Horizon Air serves 11%, Southwest Airlines serves 8%, and United Airlines serves 7%.
Our product represents the airport after the expansion work is completed, with the new International Arrivals Facility, both Satellite Terminals modernized, additional structures added to the A terminal, and the incredible Skybridge. The $766 million project is expected to be completed by 2021. After the new IAF opens, international flights will still land at the South Satellite, and more international gates will be added to Concourse A. This will almost double the number of gates that can handle larger wide-body planes.
Paine Field (IATA: PAE, ICAO: KPAE, FAA LID: PAE), also known as Snohomish County Airport, is a small international airport in the US state of Washington that serves a portion of the Seattle metropolitan area. It is in unincorporated Snohomish County, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of Seattle, between the cities of Mukilteo and Everett.
Boeing's Everett Factory is located at Paine Field. It is the world's largest building by volume, covering 399,480 m2 and is located on the northeast corner of Paine Field. This is the factory where the wide-body Boeing 747, 767, 777, and 787 are built. Plans for the factory were first announced in 1966, after Boeing was awarded a $525 million contract from Pan American World Airways to build 25 747s. It bought 780 acres north of Paine Field, which was used by the US Army during WWII. Boeing has been present in Everett since 1943. With the first flight of the 747 in 1968, it began offering factory tours. Each year, over 150,000 people visit the Everett Site. The factory has a Boeing Employees' Credit Union branch as well as several cafés. Across the airport to the west is The Boeing Store, a theater, and the Future of Flight Aviation Center, which operates the factory tour. The Everett Factory employs over 30,000 people, including its own fire department, security team, daycare center, and fitness center.
Boeing Field, officially King County International Airport (IATA: BFI, ICAO: KBFI, FAA LID: BFI), is a public airport owned and operated by King County and located five miles south of downtown Seattle, Washington. The airport serves some passengers but is mostly used for general aviation and cargo. It is named after Boeing founder William E. Boeing. The airport's property is mostly in Seattle, just south of Georgetown, with a southern extension into Tukwila. It covers 594 acres (240 ha) and has over 375,000 operations per year. In the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, it is named as a primary commercial service airport.
The Boeing Company has facilities at the airport. Boeing Field makes final preparations for delivery of Boeing 737 aircraft following the first test flight. Boeing facilities at the airport have also included a paint hangar and flight test facilities. Because the Renton factory was at capacity to build the Boeing 707 and Boeing 727, the 737 was initially assembled at Boeing Field in the 1960s. After 271 aircraft, production was relocated to Renton in late 1970. Airborne early warning and control planes for the military that are based on the 737 are made at Boeing Field.
Renton Municipal Airport (IATA: RNT, ICAO: KRNT, FAA LID: RNT) is a public-use airport in Renton, Washington, United States. The airport's northern boundary is Lake Washington and the Will Rogers-Wiley Post Memorial Seaplane Base. Renton Airport has a floating dock and a launching ramp for converting from wheeled landings to water takeoffs and landings. The airport is owned by the City of Renton and serves Renton and other nearby communities. It offers regional aviation services to air charter, air taxi, and corporate, business, and recreational flyers.
Renton Airport is located next to the Boeing Renton Factory, which manufactures Boeing 737 Next Generation and MAX airliners. Renton produced 1,119 B-29s and 943 C-97s. The Boeing 367-80, the prototype for what would become the Boeing 707, was rolled out at the Renton plant in May 1954, beginning a long association with the production of the Boeing 707 line. The first production Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker took off from Renton in August 1956, and it was named the City of Renton. The first production Boeing 707 was delivered to Renton on October 28, 1957, and production continued until the last 707. From 1963 to the 1980s, the Boeing 707 final assembly building was also used to produce the Boeing 727, a three-engined airliner. The first four 747s were refurbished at the Boeing Renton Factory. The plant also produced all 1,050 Boeing 757s. Renton built a new assembly line to produce the twin-engined Boeing 737, and the plant is still producing the Boeing 737 family. When it was completed, the 737 final assembly building was the largest building in the world by volume. The nearby Renton Municipal Airport is where new planes fly for the first time before they are taken to Boeing Field to prepare for customers.
Auburn Municipal Airport (FAA LID: S50) is a city-owned public-use airport located 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) north of downtown Auburn in King County, Washington.
