Location

Everett, United States

Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE) is a public airport located in Everett, Washington, approximately 25 miles north of downtown Seattle. Originally a military installation, the airport transitioned to commercial passenger service in 2019, offering an alternative to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The airport shares its grounds with the Boeing Company's massive Everett manufacturing facility, where wide-body aircraft such as the 747, 767, 777, and 787 are assembled. This makes Paine Field one of the most significant aviation manufacturing sites in the world. Commercial passenger operations are handled through a modern single-terminal facility, with service provided primarily by Alaska Airlines and United Airlines. The airport is valued for its shorter security lines, easier parking, and uncongested atmosphere compared to Sea-Tac.
