Portland International Jetport, International airport in Portland, Maine, United States
Portland International Jetport sits near the coast in southern Maine and serves as the largest aviation facility in the state. The airport handles flights to destinations across the United States and connects travelers to international routes through major hubs.
The site began as a military base during World War II and transitioned to civilian use after the war ended. Expansion projects over the following decades added new runways and terminal buildings to accommodate growing passenger numbers.
The facility represents Maine's primary gateway for visitors exploring New England's northeastern coastal region through multiple domestic and international connections.
Access from downtown takes only a few minutes via a direct road connection that follows the coastline. The terminal building offers parking options, rental car counters, and taxi or bus services for onward travel into the city or surrounding areas.
Federal funding of 4.5 million dollars in 2020 enabled construction of a 370-meter taxiway connecting the existing runways.
