Columbia Gorge Regional Airport (IATA: DLS, ICAO: KDLS, FAA LID: DLS) (The Dalles Municipal Airport) is in Klickitat County, Washington, near Dallesport, Washington and two miles northeast of The Dalles, Oregon.[1]The airport is jointly owned by the city of The Dalles and Klickitat County.[1] It is on the Columbia River, near the east end of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation facility.[2]

History

During the Great Depression the city was granted $12,000 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), but that was later revoked in 1935 when the WPA learned the city only leased the airport.[3]

Until 1955 United Airlines DC-3s stopped there.

Facilities

The airport covers 997 acres (403 ha) at an elevation of 247 feet (75 m). It has two asphalt runways: 12/30 is 5,097 by 100 feet (1,554 x 30 m) and 7/25 is 4,647 by 100 feet (1,416 x 30 m).[1]

In the year ending September 8, 2010 the airport had 16,282 aircraft operations, average 44 per day: 84% general aviation, 11% air taxi, and 5% military. 58 aircraft were then based at this airport: 98% single-engine and 2% helicopter.[1]
