Albany Airport is an airport of entry serving Albany, New York. It is located in the Town of Colonie about 6 miles north of Albany.<\/p>\n
Albany International Airport can accept most aircraft. But although the airport is significant and well-equipped, it is essentially a domestic airport, with its only scheduled international flights to Canada.<\/p>\n
CommutAir flying as Continental Connection had dozens of daily non-stop flights to 20 destinations from a \u201cmicro-hub\u201d created at Albany International Airport. At its peak, it operated five banks of flights out of three gates (A1, A1a, A2), completely occupying the airside\u2019s lower-level. The hub was downsized and eventually closed down in 2005, and today only serves Buffalo.<\/p>\n
Construction has recently been completed on the 1,300 foot runway extension for runway 1\/19. The runway now measures 8,500 feet.<\/p>\n
With the January 2006 shutdown of Independence Air, Albany International Airport is in further discussions with jetBlue (which serves all other major upstate airports), AirTran (which served Albany for a brief period in the late-1990\u2019s), and Frontier Airlines to expand service to the airport.<\/p>\n
On October 29, 2006, Southwest Airlines will begin a daily roundtrip flight to Tampa International Airport. For a time, a weekly roundtrip to Tampa was run from the airport on a test basis several years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
