The Yakima Air Terminal

“The FAA has accepted the forecast chapter, which is critical to make sure that they understand the future demands and needs, not only for air service development, but also additional facilities that we may need to house additional aircraft,” Peterson reports. “So, that project is coming along well with the FAA, as well as with the tenants here at the Airport. We had an open house in November with our tenants and the community to identify future growth needs, as well as the alternatives to meet the Airport’s critical needs and expansion efforts. Additionally, we included our Airport’s electronic Geographical Information System data implemented in the FAA’s website, which identifies critical details on the Airport, such as where your hangars are located, your runways, your taxiways, and all your associated facilities. Tentatively, the Airport Layout plan update will be completed in the spring of 2020 with the City adopting the plan in the fall.” Peterson remarks that a main priority for the THE YAK IMA A I R TERMINAL -MCALL I STER F I After a tragic house fire in Sitka, Alaska, claimed the lives of three children, Dr. Michael Copass, then medical director of emergency services at Harborview Medical Center and Medic One in Seattle, founded the region’s first air medical transport service in 1982. His mission was to provide the highest level of critical care wherever and whenever it was needed. As a not-for-profit service of UW Medicine, Airlift Northwest continues to be guided by that same founding passion to provide lifesaving care, especially in rural areas with limited access to emergency services. It puts into flight the latest discoveries, best training, and cutting edge technology. Its core belief is that all people deserve high-quality critical care no matter where they live. They operate out of eight bases throughout Washington and Southeast Alaska, and work closely with local first responders and hospitals to transport 3,600 patients annually. Airlift Northwest’s helicopters and airplanes are flying ICUs. They use equipment onboard that is typically only available in the best hospitals, including cardiac balloon pumps, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), neonatal isolettes, and blood and plasma that has been proven to increase survival rates. ......
