A raffle will be offered for two round-trip tickets to Portland, donated by PenAir, along with a $500 Visa gift card, donated by the Port of Portland. Raffles for a variety of other prizes also will be held and the Upper Deck Restaurant will serve root beer floats for $1 each.

PenAir will begin offering commercial air services at the airport starting Oct. 5. Klamath Falls has been without commercial passenger service for two years since SkyWest pulled out in June 2014. According to a previous Herald and News report, PenAir’s flight schedule will consist of two daily flights during the week — one that leaves at 6:40 a.m. and one leaves at 2:50 p.m. The 6:40 a.m. flight arrives in Portland at 8 a.m. and the 2:50 p.m. flight arrives in Portland at 4:10 p.m. Flights return to town at 2:20 and 6:20 p.m. One flight will be available at 11 a.m. on Saturday and one flight on Sunday at 5 p.m. All flights will be operated using PenAir’s 30-seat Saab 340 turboprop aircraft.
