Paine Field is a
unique airport. It is home to over 615 aircraft, including
small, single engine recreational aircraft, corporate jets and
brand new Boeing 747s. Located about 30 miles north of downtown
Seattle, the airport offers high quality aviation facilities,
including an FAA tower, Cat 1 ILS, Part 139 certification, FBO
services and good access to Seattle and the eastside cities of
Bellevue and Redmond.
The Airport is home to the Boeing manufacturing plant for
747,
767, 777, and 787 aircraft and recently saw the first
flights of the first
787
Dreamliners and the first
747-8. Aviation Technical Services is the
largest third-party aircraft inspection and repair facility in
North America and provides repair and maintenance services for
airlines such as Alaska, Delta, Southwest and UPS.
Paine Field has become a major tourist destination with the opening of the new
Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour, the
Flying Heritage Collection
and the Historic Flight Foundation. Other attractions include
Legend Flyers, which is building Me-262 aircraft, and the
Museum of Flight
Restoration Center.
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Aviation Division, with the support of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) conducted an
economic impact study to measure the economic impacts of Paine Field, to assess the economic value that the Airport creates for the surrounding communities, and to show the Airport’s contributions to the state’s economy and economic competitiveness. Paine Field and its tenants have a $19.8 billion economic impact on the region and the state. Additionally, the Airport and the businesses utilizing the airfield provide $79 million in tax revenue to the local and state governments.
