## Description

UPS Airlines is the name that matters at Boeing Field (IATA: BFI, ICAO: KBFI), where it runs its Puget Sound gateway alongside DHL and feeder operators such as Ameriflight, with more than 150 businesses based on the King County-owned field. The airport handles roughly 150,000 aircraft movements a year and carries no scheduled passenger service, which keeps turnarounds quick for freighters, corporate jets and time-critical shipments. It is also Boeing's delivery point: every 737 assembled in Renton lands here after its first flight before being handed over to its customer. Interstate 5 runs along the western fence and the Duwamish industrial corridor with the Port of Seattle's terminals begins next door, eight kilometres south of downtown. Bulk tonnage and international customs clearance belong to Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) about 20 km south, with Portland (PDX) as the wider regional alternative. King County has been running a public planning process on the airport's long-term future since 2025; its estimated regional economic impact is around USD 1.6 billion a year.
