Airport guide
Spokane International Airport (KGEG) sits 5 miles west of downtown Spokane, Washington. The field handles modest commercial service (Alaska, Delta, American, United, Southwest, JetBlue, Allegiant, Frontier) and a meaningful flow of business aviation, particularly the Inland Northwest corporate community (Spokane is the regional hub for eastern Washington, northern Idaho, and western Montana), the Coeur d'Alene resort flow, and the structural winter ski-resort flow to Schweitzer, Silver Mountain, and Lookout Pass.
The two runways at KGEG (3/21 8,199 ft, 7/25 8,199 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. Two FBOs (Western Aviation and Signature) handle business movements. Field elevation is 2,376 feet, with modest summer density-altitude considerations. The dominant operational considerations are Inland Northwest winter weather (heavy snow, occasional freezing rain, persistent cold), summer thunderstorms, and the structural winter ski-season peak (December–March). Ground time to downtown Spokane is 10 minutes; Coeur d'Alene via I-90 is 35–45; the Schweitzer ski area is 90 minutes north via US-95.
