Visit our online open house and share your thoughts on the PDX 2045 Recommended Development Strategy by May 1. Learn more on our Open House page.

Overview

The Port of Portland (Port) will host in-person and online open house events in April 2026 for the PDX 2045 Master Plan Update. These events offer an opportunity to learn how Portland International Airport (PDX) may evolve over the next 20 years and to share your perspectives on the PDX 2045 Recommended Development Strategy. Everyone interested in the future of PDX is encouraged to participate!

Over the past two years, the Port has gathered input from community members, travelers, employees, and other stakeholders to better understand priorities, concerns, and ideas for PDX’s future. That input directly informed the Recommended Development Strategy. We want to hear your questions, comments, and any concerns to help guide how the plan is communicated and implemented.

The Recommended Development Strategy outlines the types of investments that may be needed over the next 20 years to meet future demand, but it is not a detailed blueprint. Following adoption by the Port of Portland Commission, the Port will develop a more detailed implementation roadmap.
