Tri Cities Airport (PSC)

Tri-Cities Airport (PSC) is a primary aviation hub serving southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon, located in Pasco approximately 2 miles from the city center. The airport operates from a single, modern passenger terminal that underwent a major $42 million expansion completed in 2017, designed for high efficiency and intuitive navigation. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, connecting the region to major national hubs like Seattle, Denver, and Salt Lake City via carriers such as Alaska Airlines, Delta, and United. The terminal infrastructure provides a variety of contemporary amenities across its unified layout, featuring the 'Grand Rendezvous Café' pre-security and full-service airside dining at 'Columbia Bar & Grill' and 'Jump Off Joe.' A unique feature of the facility is the 'PSC Pass' program, which allows non-travelers to apply for terminal access to meet or see off passengers directly at the gate. Travelers have access to free high-speed Wi-Fi, modernized security screening points, and retail kiosks selling local Washington souvenirs and travel essentials, ensuring a professional environment for all visitors. Ground transportation at PSC is well-supported by on-site car rental desks for several major national agencies, with a new dedicated rental facility under development to further streamline operations. Official taxi ranks and ride-sharing services are readily available curbside, and the airport is located just 2 miles from the Pasco Amtrak station, providing convenient multi-modal transit links. The facility offers exceptionally easy-to-access parking lots situated directly in front of the terminal, providing a streamlined experience for those transitioning to the region's agricultural and technology sectors.
