Portland International Airport
Portland International Airport (PDX) is the largest and the busiest airport in Oregon. Around 90% of air passenger travel through the state is done through PDX. As it name implies, PDX facilitates many international flights, but it is also a hub through which many domestic airlines fly, featuring many direct flights to most major cities in the country.
PDX was named as the top airport in the U.S. for business travellers in 2006, 2007 and 2008 by Condé Nast Traveler Magazine. This rating was based on different factors including ease of access, shops, amenities and its perceived safety and security. The airport has also undertaken many environmentally-friendly initiatives including the use of solar panels to partially power the airport.

Klamath Falls Airport
Klamath Falls Airport (LMT) is also known as Kingsley Field and is predominantly used for military and general purposes. However, it also receives a limited volume of commercial traffic. As it doesn't have to process a lot of commercial traffic, it only has two runways which are sufficient for its purposes.
LMT is an Air National Guard base and is the home to the Oregon Air National Guard's 173rd Fighter Wing. It is an advanced air-to-air combat training center and many members of the air force come to Oregon to undertake air combat exercises. LMT also houses a flight surgeon school for the U.S. Air Force.
The Klamath Falls Airport is a familiar destination for many outdoor enthusiasts. LMT serves as the jumping off point for outdoor adventures at Crater Lake National Park and Lava Beds National Monument. Summer activities include a variety of water sports at Lake Ewauna and Klamath Lake, while the Link River Nature Trails attracts hikers from around the world.
