Why Fly YKM?

Yakima is a continually growing community with a vast business base and great potential. Agriculture plays a major role in our success with our apples, cherries, hops and so much more being shipped across the globe. Yakima is also home to a variety of healthcare facilities that ensure our residents remain healthy. Various manufacturing plants call the Yakima Valley their home.

Without the Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field as a key component to travel in our area, each of those industries would feel a negative impact. They depend on ease of travel for customers, clients and partners to visit their business. They also depend on the Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field for their own travel needs.

In order for us to keep this community’s much needed hub, we must utilize it to the fullest extent. Few airlines are willing to commit the resources needed to cover a region of our size, and with load levels (number of passengers flying) at rates as low as Yakima. Alaska Airlines has served our community well for decades, but to ensure their commitment, we must increase air travel. And, with an increase in passengers, we have the opportunity to increase flights to and from Yakima.

Fly-YKM. Yakima’s best way to travel!
