Augusta State Airport
Augusta State Airport serves Augusta, Maine, the state capital, located along the Kennebec River in the central part of the state. The field stands 352 feet above sea level; a pair of runways supports general aviation, charter flights, and limited scheduled passenger service. Augusta's status as Maine's seat of government brings a steady stream of business and official travel through the airport, supplementing its general aviation traffic. The two runways help pilots cope with New England's fickle weather, including winter snowfall and strong seasonal winds. Compared with Portland's larger airport further south, Augusta State Airport handles a smaller, more localized share of Maine's air travel.
