Airports
The city's primary commercial airport is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, locally known as Sea–Tac Airport and located in the city of SeaTac, which is named for the airport. It is operated by the Port of Seattle and is served by a number of airlines connecting the region with international, national, and domestic destinations. The airport is a major hub for Alaska Airlines and its regional subsidiary Horizon Air.
Closer to downtown, Boeing Field is used for general aviation, cargo flights, and testing/delivery of Boeing airliners. In 2005, Southwest Airlines and Alaska Airlines requested permission to move passenger operations from Sea–Tac to Boeing Field but were turned down by the county.
