9 Boeing Field, officially King County International Airport (KBFI), is a tworunway airport owned and run by King County, Washington, USA. In promotional literature, the airport is frequently referred to as KCIA, but this is not the airport identifier. The airport has some passenger service, but is mostly used by general aviation and cargo. It is named after the founder of the Boeing Company, William E. Boeing. Being south of the city, it is named Boeing Field because of the Boeing Airplane Company s proximity and because Boeing s Pacific Air Transport (later United Airlines ) used it for regular airmail service. It was Seattle s principle passenger airport until the construction of Seattle- Tacoma International Airport in the 1940 s. Boeing Tower Today The airport serves small commercial passenger airlines, cargo carriers, private aircraft owners, helicopters, corporate jets, and military and other aircraft. It is also home to the Boeing Company s 737 aircraft flight-test program, along with the other Boeing operations. 9
