Spokane International Airport (IATA: GEG, ICAO: KGEG, FAA LID: GEG) is a commercial airport in Spokane, Washington, United States, located approximately 7 miles (11 km) west-southwest of Downtown Spokane. It is the primary airport serving the Inland Northwest, which consists of 30 counties and includes areas such as Spokane, the Tri-Cities, both in Eastern Washington, and Coeur d'Alene in North Idaho. The airport's code, GEG, is derived from its former name, Geiger Field, which honored Major Harold Geiger (1884–1927).

Key Information

As of 2023, Spokane International Airport (GEG) ranks as the 73rd-busiest airport in the United States in terms of passenger enplanements.[3] At 4,264,875 total passengers served in 2024, it is the second busiest airport in Washington. GEG is served by seven airlines with non-stop service to more than 20 destinations in the continental US.[4]

It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a small-hub primary commercial service facility.[5]

Excluding military airfields, general aviation, and cargo airports, GEG Airport, at 6,140 acres (9.6 sq mi; 24.8 km2), is the largest commercial/public airport in all of Washington state in terms of land area.[1][6]

History

[edit]

Geiger Field in 1943

Known as Sunset Field before 1941, it was purchased from the county by the War Department and renamed Geiger Field (hence the IATA code GEG) after Major Harold Geiger, an Army aviation pioneer who died in a crash in 1927.

During World War II, Geiger Field was a major training base by Second Air Force as a group training airfield for B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bombardment units, with new aircraft being obtained from Boeing near Seattle. It was also used by Air Technical Service Command as an aircraft maintenance and supply depot; Deer Park Airport and Felts Field were auxiliaries.

In 1943, General Hap Arnold established the first formal fire protection training course at Geiger Field, Washington. It was used until 1946.

Geiger Field was served by a rail connection to the Great Northern Railway.[7]

Geiger was closed in late 1945 and turned over to War Assets Administration (WAA), then transferred to Spokane County and developed into a commercial airport. The airport hosted USAF Air Defense Command interceptor units during the Cold War for air defense of Hanford Nuclear Reservation and Grand Coulee Dam. Built in 1942 as the Spokane Air Depot, Fairchild Air Force Base is four miles (6 km) to the west.

It became Spokane's municipal airport in 1946, replacing Felts Field, and received its present name in 1960, after the City of Spokane was allotted Spokane Geiger Field by the Surplus Property Act and Air Canada started service to Calgary.[8] In November 1972, the 4702d Defense Wing moved to the airfield. It was still used by the Air Force into the early 1960s, with the 84th Fighter Group operating Convair F-106 Delta Dart interceptors.[9][10] The airport code is still GEG, for Geiger Field.

Concourse A and B complex originally opened in 1965.

The current Concourse A and B complex opened in 1965, designed by Warren C. Heylman and William Trogdon.[11][12]

Expansion from the 1970s

[edit]

A second level was added to Concourse A and Concourse B in 1974.[13]

The airport has a Master Plan,[14] which includes a third runway and gates added to Concourse C.

A new control tower has been built south of the airport, replacing the one near Concourse C. The new control tower is the tallest one in the State. The Terminal, Rotunda, and Concourse C Enhancement Project (TRACE) was recently completed, designed by Bernardo/Wills Architects, P.C.[15] The project, which concluded in November 2006, added retail space and expanded security checkpoints in the airport's three concourses, and gave the Rotunda an aesthetic renovation. In 2010, 2000 feet was added to Runway 3–21 and parallel taxiways 'A' and 'G', enabling heavier aircraft departures in summer months.

By 2023, the airport plans to add new gates, centralized security and expanded baggage claim space as it looks to add more direct flights, including to the east coast, to capitalize on and accommodate growing passenger and cargo traffic; the Spokane market has been hosting big events and attracting business to the area.[16][17]

Terminal renovation and expansion (TREX) program

[edit]

On October 20, 2022, the airport broke ground on the first phase of the project which includes expansion of Concourse C. The $150 million addition will add 144,000 square feet, 6 new gates and modernization of the existing terminal.[18] The first portion of the expanded concourse, which includes three gates at the west end, opened in June 2024. The remainder of the project is planned to begin construction in late 2024 and be completed the following year.[19][20]

The second phase of the TREX program is focused on creating a centralized TSA screening checkpoint and baggage claim, as well as an improved operations center. This central connection will also allow easier navigation between the A/B and C concourses.[18] As of January 2023, the 145,000 square foot Central Hall is estimated to cost $179 million and has a planned construction timeline of 2025 to 2027.[21] Other projects planned in the TREX program include relocation of the rental car facilities, and renovation of the A/B concourse.[18]

The airport received $6.5 million from the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help fund the project.[22]

Facilities

[edit]

Airfield

[edit]

The airport covers 6,140 acres (2,480 ha) and operates two paved runways:[1][23]

  • Runway 3/21: 11,002 ft × 150 ft (3,353 m × 46 m), asphalt/concrete
  • Runway 8/26: 8,199 ft × 150 ft (2,499 m × 46 m), asphalt

Tower

[edit]

It is believed that the tower is the only federally-run air traffic control tower named for any single person. That honor was bestowed in 2010 on Ray Daves, the World War II radioman who survived Pearl Harbor and Midway and went on to serve as an air traffic controller in Spokane after the war until the 1970s.[24][25]

Terminals

[edit]
Terminals at Spokane International Airport

The passenger terminal facility at Spokane International Airport has three main structures; Concourse A and B in the center, Concourse C to the southwest, and the Ground Transportation Center to the north. The three structures are immediately adjacent and connected, however the two concourse structures are not linked with an airside connector on the sterile side; as such, connecting passengers need to transit between Concourse A-B and Concourse C through the landside, non-sterile circulation.

Concourse A/B

[edit]

The 1965 Concourse A/B complex includes the two concourses linked by a central rotunda area with dining and shopping vendors. The 37,000 sq ft (3,400 m2) rotunda is supported entirely along its perimeter and features no obstructions.[26] Concourse A houses 5 gates (11-15), while Concourse B houses 8 gates (1–8).

The Concourse A-B complex originally opened on April 1, 1965, and was designed by Warren C. Heylman and William Trogdon.[27] The new terminal cost a reported US$4,600,000 (equivalent to $45,900,000 in 2024) and was dedicated on May 8, 1965,[28] in a ceremony attended by Senator Warren Magnuson and Civil Aeronautics Board chair Alan Boyd.[26] Designed in the Neo-Expressionism style, the building's architecture prominently features exposed concrete as well as distinct sculpted and monolithic architectural shapes and forms.

As the airport has continued to incrementally expand, some of the original architectural intent of the Concourse A-B complex has been lost. While several expansions to the concourse extended the building's original architectural style, other additions have altered it. In 1974, a second floor was added to both Concourses A and B to allow for the implementation of passenger boarding bridge access to aircraft. The new floors, while sharing some material commonality with the original Heylman and Trogdon concourse, lacked the same curvy and sculpted neo-expressionistic forms. The later additions of the ground transportation facility and Concourse C to the ends of the concourse building further altered the architecture by replacing its distinct bookend elevations and entrances with corridors to the adjacent buildings. Interior renovations in the mid-2000s also replaced many of Concourse A-B complex's original sculpted forms and monolithic materials with more rectilinear forms and contemporary finish materials. Despite this, many of the original architectural elements remain integral to the space (such as the exposed concrete roof trusses and concrete columns), creating a juxtaposition between the newer elements and the original architecture.

Under the proposed Terminal Renovation and Expansion (TREX) program to accommodate projected growth, the separate baggage claim areas in Concourse A-B and Concourse C would be consolidated into a single baggage claim with five carousels, and A-B would receive a renovation. Ultimately, operations at A-B would wind down under long-term plans to construct a new terminal in 2030, at the earliest.[29]

Southwest Airlines is the current primary occupant operating in and out of Concourse A. Delta and United Airlines both operate in and out of Concourse B. American Airlines operated in and out of Concourse B before relocating to Concourse C in March 2016.

Concourse C

[edit]
Concourse C

Concourse C houses 9 gates, both upper (30-32) and lower (21a, 21b, 22-26). The lower level gates house regional turboprop aircraft, while the upper-level gates house narrow-body aircraft. The current iteration of Concourse C opened in 2000 after a $20 million redevelopment and expansion project, designed by Bernardo-Wills Architects.[30] The project, which broke ground in 1998 added 80,000 square feet (7,400 m2) to the concourse including a new baggage claim and two-story passenger facility. The 11,000-square-foot (1,000 m2) concourse was remodeled into service and operations functions.[31] The new Concourse C has a more contemporary architectural style, contrasting the appearance of the Concourse A and B complex, by employing a large use of metal cladding and large curtain window walls on its exterior building envelope. However, it draws inspiration from its neo-expressionist neighbor by architecturally expressing a modular, repetitive, and exposed structural grid through its façade and interior lobby areas.

Alaska Airlines and its subsidiary carrier Horizon Air were the primary occupants operating in and out of Concourse C after Frontier Airlines ceased operations to Spokane in January 2015.[32] However, that changed once American Airlines relocated to Concourse C in March 2016. Alaska and American operate in and out of the upper-level gates, while Horizon operates in and out of the lower level gates.

In October 2022, the airport broke ground on Phase 1 of the Terminal Renovation and Expansion (TREX) program which includes expansion of Concourse C. The concourse is currently under construction and expected to reopen in late 2025.[18][20]

Ground transportation

[edit]

Spokane Transit operates four stops at Spokane International Airport, with bus routes 60 and 63. The airport is also served by the WSDOT's Travel Washington Gold Line, Northwestern Trailways, Wheatland Express, Queen City Shuttle, and Special Mobility Service.

A consolidated rental car facility is located adjacent to the Ground Transportation Center on the north end of the main terminal. The consolidated facility opened in November 2008, replacing several satellite operations, and is intended to meet passenger growth at the airport for 20 years after its opening.[49]

Accidents and incidents

[edit]
  • On March 10, 1961, a U.S. Air Force F-106 Delta Dart crashed three miles (5 km) west of Medical Lake while attempting to return to Geiger Field, killing its pilot.[50]
  • Six months later on September 14, 1961, a USAF F-106 crashed on approach to Geiger Field, killing its pilot.[51][52]
  • On February 18, 1972, a Beechcraft Model 99A, Cascade Airways Flight 325, operating Seattle-Walla Walla-Pullman-Spokane, crashed in fog at 9:42 pm PST during its instrument approach to Spokane International Airport, and came to rest in a muddy field less than two miles (3 km) southwest of the runway. Two passengers and two crew were aboard, and all survived with minor injuries. The pilot walked from the crash site to a nearby service station to report it.[53] The crash site was about 200 yards (180 m) from the Medical Lake exit (#272) of Interstate 90 and the landing gear of the plane was extended.[54] Due to fog, the flight had stopped in Pasco rather than Walla Walla.[53][55]
  • On January 20, 1981, a Beechcraft Model 99A, Cascade Airways Flight 201, crashed into a hill 4.5 miles (7 km) from the runway. The accident was caused by an incorrect distance measuring equipment frequency and premature descent to minimum descent altitude. Of the nine on board, seven were killed (including both pilots), and the surviving two passengers were seriously injured. The airline ceased operations about five years later.[56][57]
  • On March 18, 1994, a Douglas DC-3C of Salair crashed shortly after take-off on a cargo flight to Portland, killing both pilots. The starboard engine failed shortly after take-off; it had previously been in long-term storage and had been overhauled the previous year and fitted to the aircraft on February 21, replacing an engine that developed a misfire and loss of power. It had accumulated 15 hours flight time at the time of the accident. The aircraft was destroyed in the subsequent fire.[58][59][60][61][62]
  • On January 4, 1996, a Convair CV-440, operated by Salair on a positioning flight, lost power in both engines at 500 feet on an ILS approach to runway 3 due to fuel starvation and false fuel readings and darkness. The plane performed a forced landing, struck a berm in a field and was substantially damaged. Both occupants survived, but the aircraft was written off.[63]

Spokane International Airport

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
Spokane International Airport (IATA: GEG, ICAO: KGEG), commonly known as Geiger Field in its early years, is a joint civil-military commercial airport serving the region of the . Located approximately 7 miles (11 km) west-southwest of downtown Spokane, Washington, it spans 6,000 acres and is the second-largest airport in the state by passenger volume. Jointly owned and operated by the City of Spokane and Spokane County since 1946, the airport is self-sustaining through fees, leases, and concessions, with an annual operating and capital budget of about $216 million (2025). Originally established as a U.S. Army airfield known as Sunset Field in 1940, it was renamed Geiger Field in 1941 to honor aviation pioneer Major Harold Geiger and served as a key training and maintenance base during World War II. After the war, it transitioned to civilian use, with the first commercial flights by United and Northwest Airlines commencing in 1946; it briefly reverted to military operations as Geiger Air Force Base during the Cold War from 1953 to 1963. Renamed Spokane International Airport in 1960 to reflect growing international service, including Air Canada flights, a new $4.6 million terminal opened in 1965, followed by major expansions such as Concourse C in 2000, parking structures in 1979 and 2001, a rental car facility in 2007, a new control tower in 2010, and a 2,000-foot runway extension that year. Designated a small hub by the , the airport handled 4.26 million passengers and 67,300 tons of U.S. in 2024, supporting over 3,000 direct jobs and generating an annual economic impact of $3 billion for the Spokane region. It features two runways, a single terminal with three concourses (A, B, and C), and is served by eight passenger airlines—, , , , , , , and —along with cargo carriers and UPS, providing non-stop flights to over 20 destinations. As a vital gateway to the , it connects the area to major U.S. hubs and supports regional economic growth through its associated business park and Foreign-Trade Zone #224.

History

Origins and early development

Spokane International Airport traces its origins to 1938, when Spokane County acquired approximately 1,280 acres of land on the West Plains, about nine miles southwest of downtown Spokane, to establish a modern commercial airfield amid growing regional needs. The site, selected for its favorable weather conditions and expansive terrain suitable for all-weather operations, was named Sunset Field after its proximity to the Sunset Highway. This development addressed limitations at the older Felts Field, which struggled with fog and space constraints for larger aircraft. The county's initiative reflected broader efforts to boost economic activity during the by creating a "super-airport" capable of supporting municipal aviation growth. Construction commenced in October 1940, funded in part by the (WPA), which provided labor and resources as part of programs to combat unemployment. Initial infrastructure included graded runways, basic hangars, and support facilities designed to accommodate commercial and general aviation activities, such as flight training and potential air mail services. Although operational for only a brief period, Sunset Field represented Spokane's ambition to modernize its aviation infrastructure, with plans for a one-square-mile landing area buffered by additional land to ensure safety and expansion potential. On June 25, 1941, less than a year after , the U.S. War Department purchased the property from Spokane County for a nominal fee of one , immediately renaming it Geiger Field in tribute to Major Harold C. Geiger, a pioneering U.S. Army aviator and advocate for who perished in a 1927 crash. This acquisition shifted the airfield's focus toward national defense priorities, curtailing its nascent civilian role and paving the way for military development.

World War II and military use

In 1941, amid escalating tensions leading to U.S. entry into , the War Department acquired the civilian Sunset Field from Spokane County on June 25 and converted it into a installation, renaming it Geiger Field in honor of Major Harold C. Geiger, an Army aviation pioneer who died in a 1927 crash. This transformation marked the site's shift from limited commercial operations to a vital Army Air Forces training hub under the Second Air Force, focusing on preparing crews for heavy bombardment missions. Construction began as early as October 1940 in anticipation of the purchase, expanding the airfield to include a one-square-mile landing area surrounded by additional buffer zones for safe operations, along with new hangars, maintenance depots, and support infrastructure. Geiger Field served as a primary group training airfield for heavy bombers, where over 6,000 pilots and crew members underwent intensive combat preparation, including , , and gunnery exercises, contributing to the readiness of multiple bombardment groups deployed to and the Pacific theaters. The base also functioned as a and supply depot for the Air Technical Service Command, handling aircraft modifications and repairs to sustain training operations. Facilities were scaled to accommodate more than 200 aircraft at peak capacity, with and auxiliary buildings housing thousands of personnel in a round-the-clock training environment that emphasized rapid crew integration for B-17 units. Following Japan's surrender in 1945, Geiger Field was deactivated as wartime demands subsided, with most military aircraft and equipment removed from the site. In 1946, the surplus property was transferred back to civilian control under Spokane County through the War Assets Administration, enabling the airfield's transition to commercial aviation while retaining some military infrastructure. A lingering military presence persisted into the Cold War era, as the site supported air defense missions through the 1950s; the U.S. Navy briefly activated a reserve training base there from 1948 to 1956, and in 1953 it reopened as Geiger Air Force Base under Air Defense Command, hosting the 84th Fighter Group with F-106 Delta Dart interceptors until 1963.

Post-war commercialization

Following the end of , commercial air service resumed at Geiger Field in 1946, marking the airport's shift from military to civilian use, with West Coast Airlines serving as the primary regional carrier alongside United and . The existing military infrastructure, including the runways constructed during the war, provided the essential foundation for these initial commercial operations. In 1960, the facility was renamed Spokane International Airport to signify its expanding role and potential for international connections, particularly after initiated service to . This period saw substantial passenger traffic growth, driven by increasing regional demand and improved airline connectivity. By the mid-1960s, further expansion became necessary; the addition of Concourse A in 1965, as part of a new $4.6 million terminal complex, enhanced capacity with dedicated gates for growing flight volumes from carriers like West Coast Airlines. The airport's economic significance deepened in the early 1970s amid preparations for , the world's first environmentally themed international exposition, as it facilitated increased air travel and cargo movements to support the anticipated influx of millions of visitors to Spokane.

Terminal expansions and modernizations

In the 1970s, Spokane International Airport underwent significant expansions to accommodate the growing demand for service, including the addition of a second level to Concourses A and B in , which enabled the installation of passenger boarding bridges and increased gate capacity. These upgrades built upon the foundational terminal structure established in the post-war era, enhancing operational efficiency for larger commercial flights. During the 1980s and 1990s, the airport pursued further developments to modernize facilities amid rising passenger volumes, culminating in the construction of Concourse C. This $20 million project added 80,000 square feet of space, including expanded baggage claim and ticketing areas, and opened in October 2000 with capacity for up to nine gates to support additional regional and national routes. In 2006, the Terminal Refresh and Concourse Enhancement (TRACE) project modernized the terminal, rotunda, and concourses, improving passenger amenities and flow. The Terminal Renovation and Expansion (TREX) program, launched in 2022, represents the airport's most ambitious modernization effort to date, addressing outdated infrastructure and projected growth. Phase 1 focused on the Concourse C expansion, adding 144,000 square feet and six new gates—three on the west end and three replacements on the east end—through a $150 million investment; the west expansion opened in June 2024, while the east portion is scheduled for completion in late 2025. Phase 2, encompassing a centralized TSA security checkpoint, upgraded baggage claim facilities, and enhanced ticketing areas, is under construction, with substantial completion expected in fall 2027. Funding for TREX has been secured through a combination of federal grants and local financing mechanisms, including a $6.4 million Airport Infrastructure Grant from the FAA in February 2023 to support terminal expansion design and construction, as well as passenger facility charge-backed bonds similar to those used for the original Concourse C. Looking ahead, the airport's 2014 master plan outlines additional terminal modernizations by 2030 to boost annual capacity to over 6 million passengers, incorporating sustainable features and further gate enhancements to handle forecasted demand from regional .

Facilities and infrastructure

Airfield and runways

Spokane International Airport occupies approximately 6,000 acres of land southwest of Spokane, Washington, providing ample space for its airfield operations. The airfield features two primary asphalt runways oriented to accommodate in the region. 3/21 measures 11,002 feet in length by 150 feet in width, while 8/26 is 8,199 feet long by 150 feet wide, enabling efficient handling of commercial and cargo traffic. Both runways support advanced landing capabilities, with Runway 3/21 equipped for Category III instrument landings via its (ILS), allowing operations in low- conditions down to feet run . The pavement strengths—up to 200,000 pounds for single-wheel gear and 400,000 pounds for dual-tandem on Runway 3/21—accommodate large aircraft, including the and equivalents, as verified by regulatory approvals for such operations. Runway 8/26 features GPS-based approaches, serving as a option to enhance operational flexibility during variable weather. The taxiway system includes parallel routes such as Taxiways A and G flanking 3/21, along with C serving 8/26, facilitating smooth movement across the airfield. Multiple aprons, including the west cargo area, east ramp, and general aviation zones totaling over 2 million square feet, provide parking for more than 50 simultaneously, supporting peak-hour turns and overnight storage. aids consist of ILS installations on 3/21 and a Spokane VORTAC station located 5 miles southwest, aiding precise guidance for arriving and departing flights. Environmental management on the airfield incorporates wildlife hazard mitigation to address waterfowl and bird activity near runways, as well as comprehensive systems with catchments, ditches, and recovery areas to handle runoff from the expansive paved surfaces. These runways were extended in prior modernization efforts to meet growing demand for larger .

Air traffic control

The air traffic control operations at Spokane International Airport (GEG) are conducted by the (FAA) from the Ray Daves Air Traffic Control Tower, a 271-foot-tall structure located south of the terminal area. The tower, which cost $27.8 million to construct, opened in 2007 and serves as the primary facility for managing local airspace, including ground movements, takeoffs, and landings. It was officially named after Ray Daves—a veteran and retired FAA who worked at the airport for 27 years—through Public Law 111-326, enacted in December 2010. The facility operates 24 hours a day and is capable of handling up to 200 operations daily during peak periods.

Accidents and incidents

On January 20, 1981, Cascade Airways Flight 201, a Beechcraft 99A Airliner (N390CA), crashed into a fog-shrouded hill approximately 4.5 miles short of runway 21 during an instrument landing system approach to Spokane International Airport. The accident, which occurred in instrument meteorological conditions, resulted in the deaths of all seven people on board, including the captain, first officer, two flight attendants, and four passengers; the probable cause was the flight crew's use of incorrect distance measuring equipment information during the approach. This was one of the deadliest aviation incidents associated with the airport. On March 18, 1994, Salair Inc. Flight 2991, a Douglas DC-3C (N3433Y), crashed shortly after takeoff from runway 21 due to a loss of power in the right engine, which the pilot shut down; the aircraft stalled and collided with terrain about 3,450 feet from the runway end. Two of the three people on board were killed, and the sole survivor, the pilot, sustained serious injuries; the National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause to be the pilot's improper retraction of flaps during the attempted climb, leading to a stall. Two significant incidents occurred in early 1996. On January 4, a Salair CV-440 Metropolitan (N358SA) experienced dual engine power loss due to fuel mismanagement during approach and made a , overrunning a and coming to rest on a with no injuries to the three occupants. Four days later, on January 8, a 401A operated by Pacific States Service (N117AC) crashed into an industrial building during an approach in dense fog, killing three of the four people on board. The pilot, who lacked sufficient experience, became disoriented, leading to ; the sole survivor sustained serious injuries. Since 2000, Spokane International Airport has maintained an improved safety record with no major fatal accidents or incidents involving commercial operations at the facility. Minor events, such as a 2024 Rockwell 690D gear collapse after an off-airport landing due to engine failure during approach, have resulted in no injuries.
