Distance & flight time from BHB
Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport
Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport serves the coastal town of Bar Harbor, Maine, at a low elevation of 83 feet, with two runways handling seasonal passenger and general aviation traffic. The airport sits on the mainland approach to Mount Desert Island, in Hancock County along the state's rugged Down East coast. Air traffic here rises sharply in the summer months as visitors head toward the island's coastal towns, then drops off considerably once the tourist season winds down in fall. Bar Harbor itself is a small town whose population swells many times over during peak season, and the airport's rhythm mirrors that pattern closely. Scheduled service tends to be limited to a handful of routes connecting to larger New England hub airports rather than direct long-haul connections.
