## Description

Owned jointly by the city of The Dalles in Oregon and Klickitat County in Washington — and physically located on the Washington side at Dallesport — Columbia Gorge Regional Airport (IATA: DLS, ICAO: KDLS) is a general-aviation field with no scheduled passenger or cargo flights. Recent FAA counts put it at some 16,300 aircraft operations a year with 67 based aircraft, its runways measuring about 5,097 ft (1,550 m) on 13/31 and 4,647 ft (1,420 m) on 07/25. The field supports agricultural spraying, flight instruction, air-ambulance work and business flying; there is no cargo terminal, freighter handling or customs post. The wider Columbia Gorge along Interstate 84 is far from empty — data centres and orchards shape The Dalles — but their air freight is trucked out. Portland International (PDX), roughly 84 miles (135 km) west, is the nearest genuine cargo gateway with integrator and belly capacity, while Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) serves intercontinental needs. For forwarders, DLS remains a general-aviation field without a freight role.
