This award is added to Seattle Paine Field's portfolio of accolades acknowledging the terminal's exceptional customer service, serene environment, and upscale amenities.

"We are honored to receive this award acknowledging Seattle Paine Field as one of the best small airports in the nation," said Brett Smith, CEO of Propeller Airports. "Since the terminal's inception, we have worked hard to ensure that Seattle Paine Field offers the best possible service and experience for our customers, and it is gratifying to see industry leaders continue to recognize our work."
