Airport Overview
Portland International Jetport (PWM) is located two miles (3km) east of downtown Portland, Maine. The busiest airport in the state, the facility processes more than 1.6 million people every year.
With a reputation for friendly and efficient service, the Jetport is a pleasant introduction to the cozy New England region, though it’s small enough that a stopover of several hours would be tedious. A new terminal is scheduled to open in October 2011 however, with expanded waiting rooms, security facilities, and a new food concourse to improve passenger experience.
Flights to Portland International Jetport mostly come from the Eastern US, Midwest and Canada, with destinations such as Toronto, Baltimore, Atlanta, Newark, Cleveland, Minneapolis, New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Orlando, Detroit, Charlotte and Philadelphia.
