Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport serves the twin-city region of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton in northeastern Pennsylvania. Its elevation of 962 feet is matched by two runways that handle scheduled airline service, cargo flights, and general aviation traffic for this part of the state's Coal Region. Despite its international designation, the airport's traffic remains primarily domestic, with major U.S. carriers offering connections through hub cities such as Philadelphia, Detroit, and Charlotte. Managing two runways gives controllers more options for the varied weather conditions common to northeastern Pennsylvania, including winter snow and seasonal storms. Serving two mid-sized cities rather than one larger metropolitan area gives this airport a distinct regional catchment area within the state.
