Redmond, OR – Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) passengers may need to allow more time when driving to the terminal due to a temporary closure of SW Airport Way July 18 to July 20, from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. each day. The closure of SW Airport Way, between 21st St. and 4th St., is necessary to mitigate increased traffic and FairWell Festival congestion near the Deschutes County Fair & Expo.
Travelers and visitors to RDM are advised to plan accordingly and use alternative routes, specifically SW Veterans Way, to access the airport from the north during this period. Signage and detour information will be provided to ensure smooth traffic flow and minimize inconvenience.
Airport operations, including flight schedules and terminal services, will continue as usual. We appreciate the public’s understanding and cooperation during this time.
It is recommended that passengers arrive two hours prior to departure time. This provides adequate time to check luggage and go through TSA security checkpoint. All passengers must be at the boarding gate 15 minutes prior to departure or may be denied boarding. Please note, the airline check-in counters may close 45 minutes before departure.
The airport terminal is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Boarding lounge amenities include a children’s play area, Nursing Room, a free book exchange, a coffee/gift shop, a family-friendly restaurant, and a full-service bar (located post-security) that opens daily at 5:30 a.m.
Additional links to TSA, Airport amenities, Air Carrier, and flight information can be found online at www.flyrdm.com. TSA hours vary depending on flight schedules generally opening daily 90 minutes prior to the first departure closing after the final scheduled departure. TSA has limited ability to modify hours for flight delays. If you leave the boarding area, you may not be able to return, so always check with TSA or your airline before exiting.
