Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport (LWS) Becomes the Busiest Airport in the Region

September 26, 2024

(Lewiston, ID) The addition of new Delta Air Lines service from Lewiston to Seattle – Tacoma International Airport  (SEA) in October 2023, complementing existing flights to Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) and  daily service on United Airlines to Denver International Airport (DEN), has propelled LWS to having record passenger loads since 2018. 

“The corporate community and tourism travelers have responded well to having service to three major  connecting hubs,” said airport director Mike Isaacs. 

Given three-hub connecting airline service, Connecticut-based American Cruise Lines was able to fly a  record number of cruise passengers into LWS this season—8,300 inbound customers with over 4,000  hotel rooms booked in the area, according to Bret Bullock, Director of Guest Experience with American  Cruise Lines.  

Isaacs continued, “A strong resurgence in commercial airline passengers would not have been possible  without the vision and commitment from the City of Lewiston, and Nez Perce County. Load factors for  United’s Denver service also hit a record 94% last month.”  

United Airlines was attracted using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds through Nez Perce County  and subsequent general surplus funding from the City of Lewiston through a Minimum Revenue  Guarantee.
