If Project Bojinka had not been discovered after a fire in Manila, Philippines, one aircraft owned by Delta Airlines flying from this airport would have blown up over the South China Sea on January 21, 1995 as part of the project's first phase.

At one time, Delta Air Lines based a lot of Asia operations from Portland. However, the Asian stock market plunge hurt their business. To make matters worse, passengers were complaining about treatment from the FIS facility at Portland. Japanese travel agents warned consumers not to go there, and the city got the nickname "Deportland". Delta eventually pulled their flight to New Tokyo International Airport of Narita, Japan. On June 10, 2004, Northwest Airlines reintroduced flights to Narita International Airport, as New Tokyo International Airport is now known as.
