Spokane International Airport (IATA: GEG, ICAO: KGEG) is a public airport located in Spokane County, five miles (8 km) southwest of the city of Spokane, Washington, USA.

Known as Sunset Field before 1941, it was purchased from the county by the Department of Defense and renamed Geiger Field after Major Harold C. Geiger, an Army aviator. It was designated Spokane's municipal airport in 1946, replacing Felts Field, and received its present name in 1960. The airport is the second largest airport in the State of Washington processing 3.1 million passengers in 2004.

[edit] Expansion

There is currently a plan in place for future expansion of the airport as it continues to grow in passenger volume [1]. Components of the master plan includes adding an additional runway as well as expanding Concourse C with more gates.

Currently, a new control tower is being built south of the airport and will replace the current one located near Concourse C. When it is completed, the new tower will be the tallest control tower in the State of Washington. Another project that is underway is the Terminal, Rotunda, and Concourse C Enhancement Project (TRACE) [2] The project, which will wrap up in November 2006, will add retail space and expand the security checkpointsin the airport's three concourses, as well as give the Rotunda an aesthetic make over.
