Peninsula Airways Inc. (PenAir) has announced the intent to provide daily air service between Klamath Falls, OR and Portland, OR beginning November of 2015. In a letter of intent dated July 27, 2015 PenAir made formal the decision to bring commercial air service back to LMT.
PenAir is partnered with Alaska Airlines in the Pacific Northwest and the proposed flight schedule will aid travelers in connecting with flights out of Portland to cities served by airlines like Alaska, Delta, and American.
“This is great news for Klamath, and the entire region, after a multi-year process of attracting air service back to Klamath Falls this news is most welcome” said Klamath Falls Mayor Todd Kellstrom.
PenAir’s decision to operate in Klamath Falls is based on many discussions with the community and local offers of support from the City and numerous businesses. The letter of intent to serve LMT allows time for the airport to work with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to re-establish security procedures and processes at the Crater Lake – Klamath Regional Airport.
Klamath Falls was one of the west coast communities considered for expansion by PenAir following the airline’s new contract for service in Crescent City, CA earlier this year.
