## Description

Feeder carrier Ameriflight is the airport's principal operator, which makes Astoria Regional Airport (AST/KAST) a small but genuine express and feeder cargo station rather than a passenger field, with Portland and Tillamook as its main destinations. Owned by the Port of Astoria and located at the mouth of the Columbia River, it has two asphalt runways, the longer measuring about 1,700 metres, and roughly 41 based aircraft. There is no dedicated cargo terminal and no widebody freighter capability; alongside air taxi and general aviation, Coast Guard Air Station Astoria and its rescue helicopters shape daily operations, and there is no scheduled passenger service. Volume shipments, dangerous goods and anything needing customs clearance route through Portland International (PDX), roughly 150 km east along the US-30 corridor, where intercontinental belly capacity and freighter services are available; Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) is the second fallback. The site also has a multimodal angle: the Port of Astoria seaport on the Columbia River, combined with trucking via Portland onto Interstate 5, supports sea-plus-road combinations. For shippers on Oregon's north coast, AST is best understood as a feeder point, not a standalone air cargo gateway.
