 Save the date!
The two-year, $19 million renovation of the Eugene airport is complete and you are invited to take a peek at our February
Business After Hours event.
The project included relocating passenger screening, a new escalator to the gate area and two new baggage carousels along with a separate renovation of the food concession areas as the airport hopes to surpass 1 million passengers this year. Equally exciting: the airport has added two new routes
expanding Eugene's business reach in key markets and offer hundreds of additional connections for travelers. Delta is now offering service to Seattle and American Airlines begins service to Phoenix in June.
