Tri-Cities Airport (IATA: PSC, ICAO: KPSC) is a public airport located 2 miles (3 km) northwest of Pasco, in Franklin County, Washington, USA. It is the third largest commercial airport in the State of Washington, and has three runways. History
The Tri-Cities Airport (then the Pasco Airport) was site of the first air mail contract flight between Elko, Nevada and Pasco, Washington made by Varney Airlines, (later United Airlines) in 1926. The airport was relocated to its present site and became known as the Franklin County Airport. The United States Navy built a naval air training station in the early 1940’s and ownership transferred to the City of Pasco when the Navy left after the war. During the first part of the war, the field was used to train beginning pilots for combat training. During the last half of the war, the mission shifted to training established pilots returning from battle in the use of newer aircraft. After the war, the Navy sold the field to the city of Pasco, but still retains training privileges. Several Navy aircraft, especially the P-3 Orion, use the field for landing and take-off training. The Port of Pasco then took ownership in 1963 and opened doors to a new Terminal Building in 1966.
In 1955, the old administration building became the home of the newly-established Columbia Basin College, which it remained until the current facility near Interstate 182 was constructed in 1966. The building later was leased to the Pasco School District #1, for use as Pasco Alternative High School (now New Horizons High School) until it was destroyed by fire in the mid 1980's. The new school is now sited near Columbia Basin College.
A substantial expansion and remodel project took place in 1986 that included access roads, parking lots, aircraft parking apron and more than doubling the size of the terminal building.
In 2003, the airport underwent another expansion and remodel that added an additional 3,000 square feet (280 m) to the ticket lobby and boarding area.
Current use
The airport's terminal at the south end of the field is currently the property of the Port of Pasco, and is the northern terminus of North 20th Avenue. Firefighting services, however, is handled by the City of Pasco. A new fire station has recently been built on the terminal grounds. The old Navy station buildings on the north end of the airport are currently being used by other firms, most notably Bergstrom Aircraft, which specializes in general aviation flight lessons.
The airport is currently undergoing a major resurfacing of the runways, which is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
