Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport to allow larger aircraft A Waiver was approved after a multi-year, $1.5-million project to enlarge safety areas. By Brian Schraum Daily Evergreen staff Larger commuter planes can once again land at the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport, thanks to a waiver issued in August. The waiver, approved by the Federal Aviation Administration, allows for larger air- craft to service the airport, including Boeing 737s and Bombardier Q400s. The decision came after a multi-year, $1.5-million effort to enlarge the airport’s runway “safety areas,” Airport Manager Robb Parish said. An FAA inspector halted the use of Q400s at the airport two years ago. Horizon Air was using the 70-seat turboprops to commute pas- sengers to and from Seattle. The inspector felt the airport did not have wide enough safety areas on either side of the runway. FAA regulations require a 250-foot buffer extending from the center line of the runway to accommodate the size and speed of larger planes. Last year, the airport added an extra 100 KEVIN QUINN/DAILY EVERGREEN feet to the safety area on the south side of the A Lear jet prepares for takeoff from the Moscow Pullman Airport on Wednesday afternoon. The area surrounding the runway was recently leveled to accomodate 737s after a new waiver was issued in August.
