About Yakima Air Terminal – McAllister Field
Yakima Air Terminal – McAllister Field is a public airport serving Yakima, Washington, and the surrounding south-central Washington region. The airfield opened in 1926 and has grown into the area's primary commercial gateway, connecting the Yakima Valley to the Pacific Northwest and beyond through scheduled service to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The airport sits about 5 km (3 mi) south of downtown Yakima and is owned and operated by the City of Yakima. Alaska Airlines currently operates regular passenger flights between YKM and Seattle, giving travelers a direct link to a major hub and onward national and international connections.
The passenger terminal is a compact, single-level building that has been expanded and upgraded over the years, and it is now undergoing a phased modernization program. Inside, travelers find check-in counters, self-service kiosks, a security checkpoint, a baggage claim area, rental car desks, Wi-Fi, restrooms and parking, with the McAllister Museum of Aviation located on airport property.
Because the airport is close to the city centre, downtown Yakima and nearby hotels are normally a short taxi, ride-hailing, private transfer or rental car trip away. That convenience makes YKM a practical gateway for business travelers, wine-country visitors and residents of the wider Yakima Valley.
