## Description

When lake-effect snow rolls in off Lake Erie, the plow crews at Tom Ridge Field get to show why they are among the most practiced in the business. The airport, named for the Erie-born first US Secretary of Homeland Security, is a passenger operation: American Eagle flies several times daily to Charlotte, Breeze serves Orlando and seasonally Tampa, and 2026 brings Chicago O'Hare back — American year-round from May on a CRJ-700, United three times daily from June via SkyWest CRJ550s. Air freight plays no role here — Wabtec's locomotives, the city's signature product, leave by rail, and anything urgent goes by truck to Cleveland, Buffalo or Pittsburgh. The lake port of Erie handles project cargo and bulk a few miles away. For forwarders, ERI is a fine place to catch a flight, not to book a freighter.
