Boeing Field Totally Explained

Everything about Boeing Field totally explained

Boeing Field, officially King County International Airport is a two-runway airport owned and run by King County, Washington. In promotional literature, the airport is frequently referred to as KCIA, but this isn't the airport identifier. The airport has some passenger service, but is mostly used by general aviation and cargo. It is named after the founder of the Boeing Company, William E. Boeing.
   The airport's property is located mostly in Seattle just south of Georgetown, with its southern tip extending into Tukwila. It is 594 acres (2.4 km²) in area and handles more than 375,000 operations yearly.
   With the exception of the World War II period, when it was taken over by the U.S. government, Boeing Field was Seattle's main passenger airport from its construction in 1928 until Seattle-Tacoma International Airport began operations in the late 1940s. The Boeing Company continues to use the field for testing and delivery of its airplanes, and it's still a major regional cargo hub.
   Boeing Field currently lacks any major commercial passenger airline service. A proposal by Southwest Airlines in June 2005 was submitted to King County to relocate their operations in the Seattle area from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to Boeing Field, but was rejected by King County Executive Ron Sims in October. A similar proposal by Alaska Airlines (a response to the Southwest proposal) was also rejected. Southwest Airlines' publicized rationale for the proposed move was so they could avoid the heavy fees being levied at Sea-Tac due to its expansion program.
   The Museum of Flight is located on the southwestern corner of the airfield, and aircraft movement can be easily observed from the museum.
