Service area

Burlington International Airport serves the Burlington metropolitan area, which contained over 206,000 residents as of 2006 U.S. Census estimates. Due to the relatively small size of the market, airlines mostly fly regional airliners on their Burlington routes. A few airlines fly larger jets, such as the Boeing 737 and planes from the Airbus A320 family, to BTV; JetBlue and United Airlines are two such carriers.

Nevertheless, BTV has flights to many major airline hubs in the East and Midwest, including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, and Atlanta.

Passenger traffic

BTV enplaned and deplaned 1,410,745 passengers in 2007, a 2.4% increase over 2006.^[2]

The airport set a local record in July 2008 when 79,154 passengers flew from Burlington, the first time the figure has crossed 70,000.^[3]

Burlington International Airport covers an area of 942 acres (381 ha) which contains two asphalt paved runways: 15/33 measuring 8,320 x 150 ft (2,536 x 46 m) and 1/19 measuring 3,611 x 75 ft (1,101 x 23 m).^[1]

For the 12-month period ending June 30, 2005, the airport had 111,454 aircraft operations, an average of 305 per day: 52% general aviation, 29% air taxi, 13% military and 6% scheduled commercial.
