## Description

At Bar Harbor the busy season brings visitors to Acadia National Park, not pallets. Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport (IATA: BHB, ICAO: KBHB), county-owned and physically located in Trenton, eight nautical miles north-west of town, is served only by Cape Air, which flies to Boston (BOS) seven days a week under the federal Essential Air Service programme; the field recorded 13,309 enplanements in 2024. Free Island Explorer buses link it to the Hulls Cove Visitor Center, and traffic swells when the park opens and quietens through winter. There is no cargo operation — no freighters, no cargo terminal, and Cape Air's Cessna 402s carry little beyond small consignments alongside passengers. Air freight for this stretch of Maine coast routes through Bangor International (BGR), about an hour inland, which has freight handling and a US customs presence; larger volumes and overseas traffic consolidate at Boston Logan (BOS). Maine's most valuable air-cargo commodity, live lobster and seafood, generally departs from Boston, trucked down US-1 and Interstate 95.
