Spokane International Airport is the second-largest airport in the state of Washington that serves the communities of Northern Idaho, Eastern Washington, Coeur d’Alene and Spokane.

There are seven airlines that fly to and from GEG Airport serving many domestic and international destinations. Top destinations from Spokane are Seattle, Denver and Portland.
