## Description

In far northern Maine, less than 2 km from downtown and close to the Canadian border, Caribou Municipal Airport (IATA: CAR, ICAO: KCAR) is a general-aviation field with an official customs role. The US Customs Service designates it an Airport of Entry, but it carries no scheduled passenger or freight service and serves mainly private and business flying. Its two asphalt runways measure roughly 1,220 m and 920 m. There is no commercial cargo handling — the airport is not cargo-capable; for air freight, Bangor International (IATA: BGR) is the nearest cargo hub, while scheduled regional flights use nearby Presque Isle (PQI).
