Located along Interstate 90 between central Washington State across northern Idaho and into central Montana, the I-90 Aerospace Corridor is an integrated network of companies and organizations actively engaged in the aerospace industry.

Collaborative by nature, the I-90 Aerospace supply chain is one the country’s most progressive integrated consortium of aerospace manufacturers with a significant number of capabilities, quality assurances and certifications.

The I-90 aerospace supply chain has a proven history as a leader in providing production and services throughout the aircraft interiors and aero-structures sectors. In addition to having companies who provide finishing services such as coating, painting, plating and anodizing the region has many MRO service providers.

Prosperous Economic Environment State and local governments, economic development coalitions, educational institutions and a robust manufacturing sector are all part of building and promoting the industry along the I-90 corridor. Businesses will find state and local aerospace industry incentives, along with ready commercial and industrial real estate and affordable and renewable utilities.

Excellent Education and TrainingThe region is uniquely positioned to train the next generation of workers and meet the advanced manufacturing industry’s workforce demands of the future through a complete, multi-sector strategy in which the development of human capital is a key component.

Companies throughout the I-90 aerospace supply chain rely on the regions 25 colleges and universities to provide comprehensive and targeted training programs in aerospace, high-tech and advanced manufacturing. There are over 90,000 students earning technical certifications and advanced degrees providing a well-trained and work-ready employment resource.

Abundant Transportation OptionsThe I-90 Aerospace Corridor is strategically located with ground, flight and rail systems that facilitate freight distribution east to west and north to south via 90 (I-90) and US 395.

Over 250 trucking companies service the I-90 corridor with a half days drive time to the Puget Sound area offering streamlined daily point-to-point delivery service.

Class 1 rail service is available via both Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific. Destination in the metropolitan areas of the Western U.S. and Canada are within 36 hours via rail.

The Spokane International Airport (GEG) is a 6,100-acre commercial service airport served by six major airlines (Alaska, American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest and United) and two integrated air cargo carriers (FedEx and UPS). The airport has over 20 daily flights to Seattle with a total of 60 daily non-stop departures to 17 destinations across the U.S.

The Airport processed over 3.5 million passengers and over 70,000 U.S. Cargo Tons in 2017 and is the second largest airport in the State of Washington and recognized by the FAA as a small hub. US Customs and Border Protection even has an on-airfield Federal Inspection Station for processing international corporate and general aviation flights.

The Moses Lake Airport offers plentiful greenfield properties with low population density. Combined with available hangar space, five lengthy runways and weather that allows for over 340 days of VFR flying per year, the airport is an ideal flight testing and training location.
