Grant County International Airport in Moses Lake seems a long way from Puget Sound. Still, it plays a vital role in relieving congestion from the overcrowded skies of western Washington.
Airspace in Puget Sound is highly congested due to the significant number of airports supporting commercial flights, commercial aircraft manufacturing flights and military flights at Boeing Field, Seattle-Tacoma International, Renton Municipal, Paine Field, Bellingham and Joint Base Lewis McChord airports. This congested airspace causes delays on the ground taxiing and inefficient flight paths that burn greater amounts of fuel and impact the environment.
