## Description

Fifth-generation stealth fighters and wide-bellied parcel freighters share the same runway at Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport. Home to the Vermont Air National Guard's 158th Fighter Wing – the first Guard unit to operate the F-35A – the field is at once a military base and Vermont's principal commercial gateway, set in South Burlington on the shoulder of Lake Champlain. On the cargo side, FedEx Express runs Boeing 757-200 freighters in from its Newark hub via Syracuse or Portland, while UPS feeds the station through Wiggins Airways. The airport holds full CBP port-of-entry status and sits within Foreign-Trade Zone 55, administered by the Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation. Interstate 89 and the New England Central and Vermont Railway lines carry freight onward across northern New England. Passenger carriers American, Delta, United, JetBlue and Breeze round out a facility that punches well above the size of its home state.
