SEATTLE, May 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Propeller
Airports is pleased to announce its recognition in Monocle's
annual Travel Top 50 Awards, which this month named Paine Field's
Passenger Terminal the World's Best Regional Airport. Paine Field
is recognized alongside leading global travel brands like Cathay
Pacific, Park Hyatt, Lufthansa, and
boutique travel experiences from every corner of the world.
Paine Field is entering its third month of service and
represents a new concept for American air travel: it was privately
financed, designed and built, and operates under a public-private
partnership between Propeller and Snohomish County, Washington. This type of
partnership model has seen tremendous success for airports abroad,
and Paine Field is demonstrating that the model can be successfully
replicated here in the United
States.
"With Paine Field, we've proven that privately financed airports
can yield revenue for governments, save valuable taxpayer dollars
and provide meaningful economic impact while delivering a high
quality and enjoyable experience to travelers," said Brett Smith, CEO of Propeller Airports. "We're
proud to offer an unparalleled airport experience for Seattle-area residents and to provide a level
of service and comfort that is winning over passengers and leading
travel and design influencers like Monocle."
The innovative model and size of Paine Field allows for a higher
quality of comfort and service than the business-as-usual approach
at larger airports. Paine Field focuses on the customer experience
with unique amenities and services – like full-time concierge
services and valet parking – and a more relaxing experience for
passengers with higher quality finishes and detailing, spacious and
comfortable lounge areas, high-speed internet, accessible power
outlets at every seat and intuitive wayfinding.
Over one hundred and fifty thousand passengers have passed
through Paine Field since Alaska
and United Airlines began commercial service from the terminal in
March, with 24 daily flights to nine destinations.
