EVERETT – A new report from the FAA could clear the way for passenger service to begin at Paine Field in Everett.

An environmental assessment released on Saturday found no significant issues that need to be addressed, though there are still a few steps that must be completed before three airlines can begin using the new terminal.

Alaska, United and Southwest Airlines have proposed making a combined 24 flights per day to cities around the west from the Snohomish County-owned airport.

The public has until Nov. 2 to comment on the draft report, which is posted on the Paine Field website.
