Airports

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

Thirty-seven airlines fly out of Sea-Tac and six cargo-only carrier. Direct scheduled flights go to more than 17 international and 77 domestic destinations. There are 40 non-stop flights each week to Asia and seven to London. In 2004, 28.8 million passengers and 346,966 metric tons of air freight passed through the airport.

The Seattle Air Program, a united effort by area freight forwarders and agents to simplify freight transport and minimize costs, offers less-than-truckload shippers the lowest rates of any western U.S. airport.

Because of the state’s strategic geographic location, Sea-Tac is one to two hours of flying time closer to Pacific Asia than Southern California airports. In addition, trans-polar routing enables Sea-Tac to rival East Coast cities like New York in flight times to European capitals. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) serves as the regional air hub for the Pacific Northwest, providing direct and regular service for passengers and cargo to major U.S. and international destinations. The airport is ranked among the five best U.S. airports by the International Airline Passengers Association and consistently one of the top 25 busiest cargo airports in the U.S. Sea-Tac is located between Seattle and Tacoma and is only a twenty-minute drive from downtown Seattle.
