## Description

1,431,834 passengers passed through Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (IATA: BTV, ICAO: KBTV) in 2025 — a record year for Vermont's principal commercial airport, and by aircraft movements one of New England's busiest fields after Boston Logan. Cargo matters more here than the state's size suggests: FedEx Express operates Boeing 757-200 freighters in from its Newark hub via Syracuse or Portland, UPS feeds the station through Wiggins Airways, and scheduled services by American, Delta, United, JetBlue and Breeze add belly capacity. BTV holds full CBP port-of-entry status and lies within Foreign-Trade Zone 55, administered by the Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation, letting importers defer duty or avoid it entirely on re-exported goods. Interstate 89 and the New England Central and Vermont Railway lines distribute freight across northern New England, while the Canadian border puts Montréal-Trudeau (YUL) and Montréal-Mirabel (YMX) within easy trucking reach and Boston Logan (BOS), some 350 kilometres south-east, supplies the widest intercontinental lift. In 2026 the airport opened a roughly 68-million-dollar terminal — its largest expansion to date — adding four gates and four boarding bridges sized for larger aircraft. The runway is shared with the Vermont Air National Guard's 158th Fighter Wing, the first Guard unit to fly the F-35A.
