Airport guide
Seattle Paine Field International Airport (KPAE) is a medium airport in Everett, WA. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KPAE or IATA code PAE. It sits in North America.
Seattle Paine Field International Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.
The longest runway measures 9,010 ft (2,746 m), a ultra-long-range-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 7500, and Dassault Falcon 8X. In practice this transcontinental and transoceanic operations without performance penalties.
Seattle Paine Field International Airport sits near sea level at 606 ft.
Local operations run on America/Los_Angeles. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
SkyAccess currently tracks 4 departing and 5 arriving private-jet legs at KPAE across the next six months of operator inventory. 5 aircraft from 3 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.
Regional fields like KPAE are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
