Federal Grant to Help Local Air Service
The federal government has announced a $360,000 grant to help Port Angeles preserve its air service to Boeing Field.
Kenmore Air has been providing the only regular flights between Seattle and Port Angeles. Last year the Port of Port Angeles, Kenmore Air and the city councils of Sequim and Port Angeles together provided $40,000, which was required to match the federal grant.
The flights between Boeing Field and Port Angeles have not been profitable. In 2009, 24,513 passengers made the trip. The 2009 figure is slightly higher than 2008; but lower than the 2007 total.
