Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport - Facilities and Aircraft

Facilities and Aircraft

Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport covers an area of 467 acres (1.89 km2) at an elevation of 2,556 feet (779 m) above sea level. It has one asphalt paved runway designated 6/24, which measures 6730 x 100 feet (2051 x 30 m). The airport was annexed by the City of Pullman in August 1988, and the present terminal opened in February 1990 at a cost of $2.7 million.

The modest commercial terminal is a single large room, divided between pre- and post-security areas by a single security checkpoint and glass walls. The waiting area occupies all space beyond the checkpoint, but is not commonly used for waiting, as most passengers pass through the security checkpoint immediately before boarding. Both passenger gates are ground-level doors to the tarmac; passengers board via the fold-down aircraft-door stairs, or airstairs (for larger charter aircraft).

Gate 1 on the east side of the terminal is used by Horizon Air. A cat named "Dash" occupies the airport, and freely roams through the security checkpoint.

The public airport shares the runway with a fixed base operator, Interstate Aviation, which conducts chartered air service. Local engineering firm Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. owns and operates private hangers at the airport.

For the 12-month period ending April 30, 2008, the airport had 29,350 aircraft operations, an average of 80 per day: 85% general aviation, 14% scheduled commercial, 1% air taxi and <1% military.

At that time there were 71 aircraft based at this airport: 85% single-engine, 10% multi-engine, 4% jet and 1% glider.
