History of Spokane International Airport

Located near Rutter and Fancher and along the banks of the Spokane River, Felts Field was originally known as Ed Hoisington Field when one-thousand acres were first leased from the city by the Northwest Aircraft Company in 1919.

Throughout the 1920s, other private firms also leased the field for commercial aviation. The Washington Air National Guard was set up at the airstrip in 1924, which was the region’s first Air National Guard unit.

Hoisington Field was renamed Felts Field in 1927 after James Buell Felts, an Air National Guard pilot from Spokane died in a plane crash that May.

In the 1930s and 1940s, Felts Field served as Spokane's municipal airport with scheduled airline service from the airport terminal. That building, along with others at the airport, is now on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1938, Lt. Mamer and nine others were killed in a commercial plane wreck and in 1939 a clock tower memorial was built in Lt. Mamer’s honor. The clock tower is still in use today and can be found directly west of the Skyway Cafe, behind the main parking lot.

In the 1940s and with the onset of World War II, Felts Field was quickly becoming too small for the large influx of both military and commercial planes which seemed to be constantly flying on and off the runways.

By 1949, all military and most commercial aviation activities were moved to the bigger and more suitable airport.

To this day, Felts Field is still an active and popular airstrip for many of the region's pilots. Hobby pilots, the Experimental Aircraft Association, commercial charter pilots, and Med Star are all operating at Felts Field, and at just about any given time of day, airplanes can be viewed from any part of Spokane, either taking off or landing at the airstrip.

As of 2021, its top domestic routes include Seattle/Tacoma, Washington, Denver, Colorado, Salt Lake City, Utah, Las Vegas, Nevada, Phoenix–Sky Harbor, Arizona, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, Oakland, California, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, Los Angeles, California, and Portland, Oregon.
