The City of Pendleton updated the Airport Master Plan for Eastern Oregon Regional Airport (PDT) in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to address the airport’s needs for the next twenty years. The Airport Master Plan provides specific guidance in making the improvements necessary to maintain a safe and efficient airport that is economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable

Why It's Needed
Eastern Oregon Regional Airport currently provides the only scheduled commercial air service in eastern
Oregon with daily flights to Portland International Airport. The air service is partially subsidized through
a federal Department of Transportation Essential Air Service (EAS) grant. The nearest other commercial
air service airports are located in Pasco and Portland. Additional information about commercial air service
is provided in the Aviation Activity Forecasts (Chapter 3).
NPIAS airports are eligible for federal funding of improvements through FAA programs such as the Airport
Improvement Program (AIP). However, to maintain eligibility for funding, the FAA requires airports to
periodically update their master plans as conditions change in order to maintain current planning that is
consistent with applicable FAA technical standards, policies and regulations.
This project updates the 2002 Airport Master Plan,2 which has provided the primary airport planning
guidance for the Airport over the last thirteen years. As conditions have changed in recent years, the need
exists to update the long-term planning for the Airport. In addition to addressing changing local
conditions, updated FAA standards, current trends within the aviation industry, and the recent addition
of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) activity has been reflected in updated airport planning. The 2015-2035
Airport Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan (ALP) replaces the previous master plan and meets the FAA’s
requirement to maintain current planning
