Coeur d'Alene Airport

Coeur d’Alene FLYING HIGH IN LAKE CITY A I R PORT PA P PY BOY I NGTON F I E L D C oeur d’Alene has also been called Lake City, and when you look at a map of northern Idaho, you can certainly understand why. Situated on the shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene, the city is surrounded by beautiful scenery, hiking trails, and pristine waters. It is a short drive to National Parks, ski resorts, camping, and cabins. In fact, this is a vacation paradise. The Coeur d’Alene Airport, also known as Pappy Boyington Field, located near this paradise makes it even more accessible. Coeur d’Alene Airport is a county-owned, public-use airport, located in Kootenai County, Idaho – nine miles northwest of the central business district of Coeur d’Alene and surrounded by the city of Hayden on three sides. “In a way, I suppose we compete with Spokane International Airport,” says Steven Kjergaard, Airport Director for Coeur d’Alene Airport, “because it is a great airport with the ability to accommodate most aircraft built today. But in reality, since we are not a commercial airport, the market is quite different and we cater to the small general aviation fleet and the corporate aircraft as well as the Forest Service tanker aircraft.
