Paine Field terminal to close for 71 days of ramp repairs

EVERETT — With few travelers and few flights, the new passenger terminal at Paine Field will take a breather and close temporarily.

The terminal will suspend operations from May 22 to July 31 to complete gate ramp repairs and maintenance, officials said Friday.

“We are going to use this temporary disruption to the advantage of Paine Field and our airline partners by completing necessary infrastructure improvements faster than we would have been able to while the terminal was open and flight operations were taking place,” said Brett Smith, CEO of Propeller Airports.

Propeller, a private company, owns and operates the terminal through a lease agreement with Snohomish County, which owns the airport. The company will pay for the repairs to the pavement on the aircraft side of the terminal, Smith said.
