Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport (PUW)

Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport is a small regional airport serving the Palouse, a rural agricultural area shared by Washington and Idaho that is also home to Washington State University and the University of Idaho. Located about three miles northeast of downtown Pullman, it provides a convenient air connection between this university-focused region and the rest of the Pacific Northwest.

The airport's commercial service is operated by Alaska Airlines through Horizon Air, with daily flights linking Pullman-Moscow to Seattle and, for part of the year, Boise. This schedule gives travelers in Pullman, Moscow, and surrounding communities a direct connection to major West Coast hubs for onward domestic and international travel.

A new passenger terminal opened in May 2024, replacing the airport's older facilities with a modern single-terminal building of roughly 47,000 square feet. The terminal includes three gates, two TSA screening lanes, a larger baggage claim inside the building, and expanded seating and dining areas, improving the passenger experience for arrivals and departures.

Because the airport sits within about five to ten minutes of downtown Pullman and downtown Moscow, travelers can reach hotels, university campuses, and other local destinations quickly by taxi, hotel shuttle, private transfer, or rental car. This close location and compact size make the airport an easy starting point for travel throughout the Palouse region.
