Pasco, WA – The Tri-Cities Airport remains open and operational during the COVID-19 pandemic. Washington governor Jay Inslee issued a shelter-in-place order for Washington residents today. However, the airport is considered an essential service provider and will continue to support the Tri-Cities community.
For those who may still need to conduct essential travel during this time, please keep in mind the following:
Flight schedules are shrinking. COVID-19 pandemic has drastically reduced air travel demand across the globe, and flight reductions will soon reach Tri-Cities. Passengers are encouraged to confirm their flight with their airline before arriving at the airport.
Do the Five. When coming to the airport, follow the World Health Organization’s recommendations and “Do the Five”:
- 1 HANDS Wash them often
- 2 ELBOW Cough into it
- 3 FACE Don’t touch it
- 4 FEET Stay more than 6 feet apart
- 5 FEEL sick? Stay home
Greet passengers on the curb. When picking up someone from the airport, please use the cell phone lot and have the passenger call you when they arrive and have their bags. You can then pick them up on the curb. If you need to come into the airport, we ask that only one person comes in to meet the passenger and to also keep The Five in mind.
Dining options are still available. The airport’s concessionaires are providing grab-and-go food options for travelers, and the airport store remains open and selling snacks, bottled drinks, and other items.
