Lewiston–Nez Perce County Airport {{airport codes|LWS[2]|KLWS|LWS}} is in Lewiston, Idaho. Owned by the city and Nez Perce County,[1] it is in an elevated area {{convert|2|mi|0|spell=in}} south of downtown.

The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport. Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 64,379 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 62,210 in 2009 and 61,737 in 2010.

History

Dedicated in 1928,[3] the airport became as a Chamber of Commerce project in 1931,[4] and the original runway was paved in 1942.[5] Jet service arrived in October 1969 after the completion of the {{convert|6500|ft|-1|sing=on}} {{nowrap|runway 8/26.[6][7][8][9]}} The air traffic control tower, southeast of the terminal, was commissioned in {{nowrap|September 1974.[10]}}

Lewiston was served by West Coast Airlines Fairchild F-27s in the 1960s. West Coast merged with Bonanza Air Lines and Pacific Air Lines to form Air West in 1968 with the San Francisco-based airline being renamed Hughes Airwest in 1970.

Early jet service was flown by Hughes Airwest Douglas DC-9-10s and McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30s and by Cascade Airways BAC One-Elevens, supplemented with turboprop aircraft of both airlines. Hughes Airwest merged into Republic Airlines in October 1980, which cut back flights in Idaho and elsewhere in the western U.S.[11] Republic's final flight to Lewiston was in September 1982,[12][13] and the airline ended its southern Idaho and eastern Washington service shortly after in April 1983.[14] Cascade, based in Spokane, ceased operations in 1986.[15][16]

The short-lived Gem State Airlines of Coeur d'Alene served Lewiston for eleven months, until November 1979.[17][18] Mountain West Airlines of Boise served Lewiston for less than three months before folding in early March 1981.[19][20][21][22] Big Sky Airlines of Billings briefly served Lewiston in 1979.[23] All three commuter air carriers operated turboprop aircraft into the airport.

The municipal golf course adjacent to the west, Bryden Canyon, was built in the early 1970s[24][25] and opened in March 1975.[26]

In the early 1970s a regional airport for the Quad Cities (Lewiston–Clarkston, Moscow–Pullman) was explored, but the city council of Lewiston withdrew its support of the study in {{nowrap|October 1974.[27]}}

Facilities

The airport covers {{convert|865|acre|km2|1}} at an elevation of {{convert|1442|ft}}. It has two asphalt runways: 8/26 is {{convert|6511|x|150|ft}} and 12/30 is {{convert|5002|x|100|ft}}.[1]

In the year ending January 1, 2012 the airport had 35,425 aircraft operations, average 97 per day: 77% general aviation, 13% air taxi, 8% airline and 2% military. 145 aircraft were then based at the airport: 81% single-engine, 10% helicopter, 8% multi-engine, and 1% jet.[1]
