Bellingham, United States
Bellingham International Airport (BLI) is a public airport located approximately three miles northwest of downtown Bellingham, Washington, in Whatcom County. It serves as a regional gateway for travelers in northwestern Washington State, including those crossing from nearby British Columbia, Canada. The airport has historically attracted Canadian travelers seeking lower airfares compared to Vancouver International Airport, just 50 miles to the north. This cross-border traffic has been a defining characteristic of BLI's passenger base. The airport is owned and operated by the Port of Bellingham. BLI offers a modest but functional facility with scheduled commercial service to several U.S. destinations. Its runway and infrastructure can accommodate narrowbody commercial jets, and the airport has seen various airline carriers come and go over the years as regional aviation demand has shifted.
