Residents can review new work on the possibility of commercial passenger service at Bremerton National Airport and submit feedback through September 29, 2026. The Port of Bremerton’s airport feasibility study page links to the September online open house and supporting material.

What the open house covers

The September study update describes infrastructure needs and phased cost estimates, along with analyses of airport noise and nearby road traffic. These are planning scenarios for a possible future service, with different assumptions about demand and airport improvements.

The Port says passenger service is neither imminent nor guaranteed. Further work would depend on decisions about funding, airport readiness and carrier interest. Reviewing a study should not be confused with an announcement that flights have been approved or an airline has committed to operate them.

How to make your feedback useful

Start with the topic that most affects your household or business. If you are reviewing a noise or traffic finding, note the year and scenario being modeled. If you are examining a construction estimate, check which phase it describes.

Specific questions are easier to follow than a general response: identify the section you read, the assumption you want explained and the local concern behind your question. Keep a copy of the material you relied on so you can compare it with later updates.

Where to respond

The official open house links to a survey open September 8–29. It also provides a Port contact for questions and participation accommodations. The Port says community feedback will inform the Commission’s consideration of whether to keep pursuing commercial passenger service. Use the official study site for the survey and subsequent updates.
