Pullman, United States
Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport (PUW) is a small public airport serving the twin college cities of Pullman, Washington, and Moscow, Idaho. It is located approximately 3 miles northwest of downtown Pullman and provides essential air connectivity for Washington State University and the University of Idaho communities. The airport operates a modest level of commercial service, primarily through connecting flights to regional hubs.
