Location

Plattsburgh, United States

Plattsburgh International Airport is a public airport located in Plattsburgh, New York, situated in the Champlain Valley near the shores of Lake Champlain and approximately 20 miles south of the Canadian border. It serves the North Country region of New York and draws passengers from the greater Montreal, Quebec area seeking lower-cost flight options. The airport occupies the grounds of the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base, which closed in 1995 following the Base Realignment and Closure process. The facility was subsequently redeveloped into a civilian commercial airport managed by the Plattsburgh International Airport authority. Due to its proximity to Montreal, the airport has historically attracted Canadian travelers looking for less expensive airfares compared to those available at larger Canadian airports. Its runways, originally built to military specifications, are capable of handling large commercial aircraft.
