Facilities

Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport covers 989 acres (400 ha) and has two runways.

The airport has recently undergone major renovations which include a new 110,000 sq ft (10,000 m2) terminal building with room for expansion. The new terminal hosts an observation deck on the second floor, as well as a restaurant for screened and unscreened passengers. Also, second-story loading bridges have been put in place for easier loading and unloading of passengers. Now that the new terminal is complete, there is a main concourse, and two open air concourses. Coincided with the construction of a new terminal, a new control tower was built as well. The new $3.6 million, 100-foot-tall (30 m) control tower uses a state-of-the-art geothermal system to heat and cool the building. The tower was completed in late 2008.[2]

Three fixed-based operators (FBOs) currently provide general aviation services on the field: Medford Air Service, Jet Center MFR, and Million Air (which recently completed its new three-story corporate terminal). Horizon Air recently increased the number of CRJ700 passenger jets serving Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport, with non-stop flights to Portland (PDX) and Seattle/Tacoma (SEA). Effective March 2009, Horizon Air added a second non-stop flight to and from Los Angeles (LAX). Non-stop service to Denver (DEN) and San Francisco (SFO), serviced by United Express, has also increased its passenger capacity utilizing CRJ700's as well. Allegiant Air, which services Las Vegas and Phoenix-Mesa, announced February 18, 2009 that they will add a third destination to the Rogue Valley-Medford International Airport. Beginning May 1, 2009, Allegiant Air started offering low-cost non-stop flights to Los Angeles. The Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport was one of 12 airports to receive this service.
