## Description

Some 9,080 passengers used Adirondack Regional (SLK/KSLK) in 2025 — roughly 14.5 boardings a day — which tells a freight planner most of what matters about this airport. It sits at about 1,663 ft inside the six-million-acre Adirondack Park, New York State's highest airport with scheduled service, and has two asphalt runways, the longer one around 2,000 m with an ILS approach. Cape Air flies the scheduled services to Boston and New York-JFK under the federally subsidised Essential Air Service programme, and the US Department of Transportation has renewed that contract. With nine-seat aircraft, usable belly capacity is effectively nil; there is no cargo terminal and no air-freight customs clearance on site. Courier and LTL shipments for the Adirondacks are trucked in from Albany (ALB, about 230 km), Burlington, Vermont (BTV) or Montréal (YUL, about 200 km), while international air freight normally consolidates through Montréal or New York. A terminal modernisation funded with USD 8.5 million from a New York State airport programme is currently expanding the arrivals area, lighting and café — none of which changes the cargo picture. What SLK does handle well is charter and business aviation, including larger charter aircraft and time-critical special flights into the mountains.
