What improvements are needed to make Paine Field ready for passenger service? Who would pay for them?
Paine Field is one of the best, most modern airports in the state. The runway, lights, communications equipment, etc., are all state-of-the-art. Access roads have capacity and parking is available. The only new facility that is needed would be a modest building that would be used by waiting passengers and for security. Typically, the airlines that use airports pay for the facilities that are needed to support their operations. Often times, the airport operator finances the construction which is repaid with fees from the airlines. We are not advocating for the expenditure of county general fund money for support the passenger service.
