Description
A runway diagram map print of Bellingham International Airport (BLI), made from the airport's own layout for the place it holds in your life. Choose your colorway and your format: a fine art giclée print on cotton paper, a framed fine art print, a glossy metal print or a digital download.
Your fine art print is made to order with pigment inks on heavyweight, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, a 330 gsm sheet with a high color gamut and deep black density. The acid-free, archival-grade paper has a smooth matte surface. Supplied unframed, ready for your own frame.
Shipping and Returns
Physical prints are made to order in 2 to 3 business days; shipping time is added on top and varies by your location and the method you choose. Standard shipping is free across the US. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat, though paper may retain a slight curl; orders with framed or metal pieces ship in separate boxes. Digital downloads are delivered by email, so there is nothing to ship.
The Digital Download is a JPEG at 300 dpi, sized for 24 by 30 inches. The digital add-on matches the selected physical print size at 300 dpi. Download links arrive by email and stay active for 30 days; save the file within that time and keep it for personal, non-commercial use. No physical item is shipped.
Physical products have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contact us within 30 days of delivery to request a refund; we may require a return before issuing it.
Digital downloads are non-refundable once delivered, except where required by law or where AirportPrints determines that a delivery failure or technical issue was caused by AirportPrints.
Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Bellingham's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Bellingham International Airport Runway Diagram Print
Bellingham International reads as one line. The print draws a single runway, 16/34, 6,700 feet long and 150 feet wide on asphalt, and it lands on the page as a dark near-vertical bar with the numbers 16 set at the top end and 34 at the bottom. Nothing crosses it. That is the whole composition: one confident stroke down the middle of the sheet, with the field's elevation of 171 feet and the coordinates set quietly in the corner block.
The interest comes from what gathers around the strip. Everything operational sits to the right of the runway in pale gray: a ladder of taxiway connectors, a wide apron, and a dense cluster of hangar and terminal shapes stacked toward the lower right. On the left side, two faint diagonals angle away from the bar, one looping near the top and one running down toward the lower left, so the balance of the image is deliberately lopsided. Bellingham sits about three miles southeast of the field, in Whatcom County, and the airport occupies 2,190 acres of it. That one strip carries the traffic because it provides adequate year-round wind coverage for aircraft serving the city. In 1985, Pacific Southwest Airlines started Bellingham's first passenger jet service, with those flights making a stop at Seattle. In 2008, Allegiant Air opened a base here, and the airport also works as a general aviation field, with sightseeing flights toward the San Juan Islands and hangars, tie-downs and a dedicated general aviation terminal south of the passenger building.
As wall art, a single-runway field is the easy one to live with. A long vertical bar gives a room a spine, and the gray apron mass to its right keeps the frame from feeling empty without competing for attention. It hangs well in a portrait orientation beside a doorway or in a stairwell, and it pairs cleanly with other single-strip fields. The colorway you choose sets the mood, from quiet and paper-like to something with more contrast, and the drawing itself stays the same underneath.
Bellingham (BLI) print, common questions
How many runways does Bellingham International have?
One. Runway 16/34 is the airport's only runway, and it is the only runway the print draws.
How long is the runway at BLI?
Runway 16/34 is 6,700 feet long and 150 feet wide, with an asphalt surface. Those are the published dimensions the drawing is proportioned from.
Where is BLI and how high is the field?
It is at Bellingham, Washington, in Whatcom County, near 48.7927 N, 122.5375 W, at an elevation of 171 feet. The coordinates and elevation are printed under the identifier on the print.
What does the code BLI stand for?
BLI is the three letter identifier for Bellingham International, and the code shown large at the bottom of the print. KBLI is the four letter international version of the same airport.
How accurate is the diagram?
The runway, taxiways, apron and building footprints are plotted from published airport information, so the runway designators, the proportions of the strip and the position of the apron east of it follow the published layout. It is a print, not a navigation chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, markings and lighting are not shown, and it should never be used for flight planning.
Does this work as a gift for a pilot or a frequent BLI flyer?
Yes. Anyone who has flown in and out of Bellingham recognizes that single strip immediately, and the layout reads as a graphic rather than a souvenir. Prints are made to order in a range of sizes and finishes, so you can match a frame you already have.
