Distance & flight time from AST
Astoria Regional Airport
Astoria Regional Airport lies just outside Astoria, Oregon, near where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. Because the field sits only 15 feet above sea level, it ranks among the lowest-elevation airports in the Pacific Northwest. Two runways handle general aviation traffic, flight training, and small charter operations for this historic port city. Astoria itself is known for its fishing industry and Columbia River bridge, and the regional airport spares residents the far longer drive south toward Portland International. Coastal fog and marine weather patterns frequently influence flight operations here, a common challenge for airfields along this stretch of Oregon coastline. No scheduled major airline service currently operates from this field.
