About Portland International Airport

Portland International Airport (PDX) is the main commercial airport serving Portland, Oregon, and the greater Pacific Northwest. Located approximately 16 kilometers northeast of downtown Portland, the airport sits on the Columbia River floodplain near the Oregon-Washington state line. PDX handles over 19 million passengers annually and serves as a focus city for Alaska Airlines, with additional services from Delta, United Airlines, American, Southwest, and a range of international carriers including Condor, KLM, and British Airways.

PDX is consistently ranked among the top airports in North America for traveller satisfaction, known for its locally focused retail, dining, and art installations inside the terminal. The airport features a single main terminal with multiple concourses, direct TriMet MAX light rail connections to downtown Portland and the city’s transit network, and strong regional connectivity. The mix of business travellers, tourists visiting Oregon’s coast and wine country, and connecting passengers means personal items are regularly left behind throughout the facility.
