YAKIMA, Wash.- The Yakima Air Terminal (YKM) is planning to expand by adding more flights to their schedules.
Currently, there is one flight a day at the Yakima Airport. Cities like Seattle and Las Vegas remain a priority destination, however Airport Director Robert Hodgman plans to add more flights departing to Los Angeles and Salt Lake City.
“We are working hard with the state legislature and with different state’s agencies to convey the value that Yakima Air Terminal can provide not only for the community but for the state. So, you can imagine that with every flight that we add there’s going to be a pretty significant economic impact,” said Hodgman.
Considering the many destinations people would like to travel to, the Yakima Air Terminal is holding an online survey; where Yakima residents can take to prioritize their destination flight. YKM is considering the strong possibility that a flight to Mexico will be available in the near future.
