PORT ANGELES — We didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye.

Horizon Air canceled its final flights into and out of William R. Fairchild International scheduled for Tuesday evening.

Airline officials announced Nov. 6 they were stopping all service here after 16 years.

“Horizon is done in Port Angeles. We didn’t want it to end like this,” said a Horizon Air employee who refused to give her name.

Horizon Air Flight 2174 from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was supposed to land in Port Angeles at 5:01 p.m.

Then Flight 2160 was scheduled to fly out with the same aircraft at 5:21 p.m.

Horizon Air spokeswoman Cheryl Temple in Seattle said those final flights were canceled after the airplane was delayed two hours in Lewiston, Idaho, for de-icing.
