PASCO, WA. – Folks looking to fly out of Pasco will get easier access to one popular destination later this year.
Just three months after beginning service at Tri-Cities Airport (PSC), American Airlines is already expanding its offerings. Beginning in the fall, the legacy carrier will provide twice-daily service between PSC and Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX), a major hub for the airline. Airport managers tell KEPR News the announcement only further proves the increasing popularity of the Tri-Cities Airport.
“This year has been awesome as far as announcements. There are a lot of airports in the country that are not adding flights, some are losing flights, and some are just maintaining,” said Buck Taft, the Tri-Cities Airport Director. “So the growth we’re seeing with the amount of new services is really awesome.”
The announcement of the additional flight adds to PSC’s increased usage by both passengers and airlines. Last year was the airport’s busiest year on record, with roughly 873,000 total passengers, and now three airlines have added flights since January: Avelo Airlines began service to the Sonoma wine country on May 1 and Alaska Airlines will fly to Los Angeles (LAX) in October.
The second daily flight to Phoenix will be available beginning September 5. Tickets can be found here.
