Southwest Oregon Regional Airport (IATA: OTH, ICAO: KOTH, FAA LID: OTH), formerly North Bend Municipal Airport, is a public airport in North Bend, Coos County, Oregon. It is operated by the Coos County Airport District.
The airport changed its name in April 2006 to avoid confusion with Bend, in central Oregon.
It is the only commercial airport on the Oregon Coast and is served by United Express (SkyWest). SkyWest flies non-stop to San Francisco International Airport (since July 2008) and ended its long-running service to Portland International Airport on February 16, 2012.
In January 2012 regional air carrier SeaPort Airlines began daily flights to Portland; by early 2016 SeaPort announced that they would be terminating their service into North Bend/Coos Bay. On the heels of the announcement by SeaPort, PenAir subsequently announced they would begin non-stop service between Portland (PDX) and North Bend (OTH) beginning March 21, 2016 using the 30 passenger Saab 340 aircraft. SeaPort ceased operations at North Bend on March 20, 2016. On August 4, 2017, PenAir announced it would cease operations to and from OTH as of August 7, 2017. The airport had previously been served by Horizon Air, which had linked North Bend to Portland International Airport since 1982. Horizon Air service ended October 11, 2008.
The airport is seeing more private jets carrying golfers to Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, which is a 20-minute drive from the airport. The airport opened a new terminal in July 2008; in February 2009 a new Air Traffic Control Tower opened.
