Why Eugene?
Bearing the title of the second largest airport in Oregon, the Eugene Airport (EUG) prides itself on the convenience of its location -- only 15 minutes away from the heart of downtown! Because of its fast baggage service and variety of ground transportation options, such as taxis, Lyft and shuttles, the Eugene Airport is a great choice for large groups. Plus, the staff is friendly so any questions you may have will be readily answered.
An added perk of the airport’s location is the closeness of many conference hotels and sports facilities. Two popular headquarter hotels are the Hilton Eugene and Valley River Inn, each located within a 15-minute drive of the airport. Our larger sports facilities such as Autzen Stadium, Hayward Field and the Bob Keefer Center for Sports Recreation are located within 30-minutes.
The Eugene Airport is also a friendly gateway to our region. Navigator Volunteers staff the information desk to assist passengers with directions and visitor information. There are dining venues both pre and post security, providing comfortable options for passing time. Browse local art exhibits and enjoy the occasional performing arts showcased in the airport lobby. The Eugene Airport makes travel easy and, by flying in here, you can get to your local destination right away without long drive times.
