Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is preparing for the gradual reopening of the economy.
We are committed to the health and well-being of passengers, visitors, and workers as part of FlyHealthy@SEA.
Most passengers continue to follow state guidance to avoid non-essential travel, actions that help us maintain the health and safety of those performing essential work. Forecasts show passenger volume increasing with as many as 12,000 departing screened passengers on the busiest days next week.
We recently launched a public dashboard built to provide local governments and industries with key indicators to track the recovery at SEA. The airport economy provides jobs, sales, and tax revenue for our whole region, and key data on the weekly dashboard gives valuable, real-time activity indicators.
This weekly update summarizes actions by the Port of Seattle and our partners for FlyHealthy@SEA. Information changes rapidly. Bookmark our website and keep up on social media with #FlyHealthySEA.
SEA Airport continues to innovate with options for seamless, contact-free travel with the debut of Pre-Booked Parking. Travelers can book parking prior to airport arrival as a convenient, cashless way to pay via credit/debit card or ApplePay. With physical distancing practices in place, travelers can drive their own vehicle and scan the booking QR code on their phone to enter and exit the garage.
Preparing to Travel – Recovery Ready
- Passengers, visitors, and workers are required to wear face coverings in the public areas of SEA
- Signage for reminders and spacing to honor physical distancing
- Plastic protective barriers that buffer interactions between travelers and airport employees
- Frequent disinfection with medical-grade cleaning products
- Added over 250 hand sanitizer stations throughout the terminal for your use. Download the SEA App with our interactive map of hand sanitizer locations.
- Each dining and retail tenant at SEA developed plans detailing procedures for safe operations such as physical distancing requirements, sanitation and personal hygiene protocols, personal protective equipment, and how to provide services while limiting close interactions.
We are developing a plan to implement temperature checks for departing domestic and arriving international passengers.
This is just the beginning. We are hard at work planning for a busier terminal and better times ahead.
