About This Airport

On the Pocono plateau between the two cities in its name sits Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International — in Avoca, the town that actually owns the code AVP. American, United and Breeze connect the region to their hubs and to Florida, with passenger numbers up 35 percent in 2024. Cargo is modest but real: FedEx and UPS process e-commerce, pharmaceutical and industrial shipments here, and a nearby Foreign Trade Zone defers customs duties until goods enter the market. The surrounding I-81/I-476 corridor has grown into one of the Northeast's densest clusters of distribution centers — much of which feeds the ramps at Newark and Philadelphia rather than AVP. Fans of 'The Office' know Scranton for other reasons; forwarders know it for warehouses.
