Passenger service at Paine Field is gradually bouncing back
EVERETT — Brett Smith, CEO of Propeller Airports, hopes the past year was a case of the terrible twos that’s over and done with.
March 4 marked the second anniversary of the new passenger terminal at Paine Field in Everett. The date passed quietly for Propeller, the privately owned company that built and operates the two-gate terminal. In a tweet that day, the company chose to again highlight the facility’s first anniversary, not the second. That first year, before the pandemic, more than one million passengers were served and there were 24 daily round-trip flights on the schedule.
A few weeks later, COVID-19 brought the airline and travel industry to its knees. Paine Field was no exception. The schedule dwindled to only four flights per day.

Alaska Airlines has, so far, resumed a total of six daily round trips, serving six destinations: Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Phoenix, San Diego and Santa Ana. The Seattle-based carrier said last month it plans to begin round trip service from Everett to Boise, Idaho, in September
