About Columbia Gorge Regional Airport
Columbia Gorge Regional Airport is a public-use general aviation airport serving The Dalles, Oregon, and the surrounding Columbia River Gorge area. Located near Dallesport, Washington, about two miles northeast of downtown The Dalles, it is owned by the City of The Dalles and operated jointly with Klickitat County.
The airport's history dates to the 1920s as a grass landing strip known as Case Field, and the site was developed as a military training facility during World War II. Today it operates two asphalt runways and a compact terminal and FBO complex, supporting private, charter, corporate and emergency service aircraft rather than scheduled commercial flights.
Travelers arriving at DLS typically continue by car, taxi, rental vehicle or pre-arranged transfer, since there is no direct public transit stop at the terminal. The airport's position in the Columbia River Gorge places it within easy reach of downtown The Dalles, Hood River, Mount Hood and the region's outdoor recreation areas.
