## Description

In eastern Oregon, freight is a road-and-rail business, and Pendleton proves the point. Eastern Oregon Regional Airport at Pendleton (IATA: PDT, ICAO: KPDT) serves the rodeo town and the surrounding wheat country of the Columbia Plateau; under a US DOT Essential Air Service contract running from June 2026 to May 2030, Boutique Air operates 21 weekly round trips to Portland with Pilatus PC-12 aircraft. A nine-seat turboprop leaves no room for commercial belly cargo, so no scheduled air freight is handled here. That traffic consolidates at Portland (PDX) about 210 miles west on Interstate 84, home to Foreign-Trade Zone 45 and every integrator, with Spokane (GEG) a second option to the northeast. The airport's real claim to fame is different: it hosts one of the FAA's major test ranges for unmanned aircraft, so what climbs out here tends to be drones rather than freighters. Pendleton wool blankets, meanwhile, ship out by truck.
