Hillsboro Airport is located on the west side of the Portland Metropolitan region, adjacent to the City of Hillsboro, in an area known as the Sunset Corridor. With more than 200,000 operations annually, Hillsboro Airport is Oregon´s second busiest airport, trailing only Portland International. Hillsboro Airport is a 900-acre executive airport, which supports all facets of general aviation activity. With its two runways (6,600' and 4,049') and four full-service fixed-base operators, the airport provides all the facilities necessary to support jet and propeller-driven aircraft and helicopters. There is a restaurant and a hotel at the airport and visitors may obtain a rental car in the terminal building. Located approximately 1/3 mile south of the airport is TriMet's light rail station. The station, which is located on NE 34th in Hillsboro, provides travelers with access to Hillsboro as well as downtown Portland.
The airport, which was acquired by the Port of Portland from the city of Hillsboro in 1966, is one of three general aviation airports operated by the Port. Each airport (Hillsboro, Mulino and Troutdale) is suited to particular segments of the general aviation industry.
