A message from the Airport Staff

Welcome to the Burlington International Airport; we’re happy you chose to fly from BTV.

Our staff works hard to make your experience here an enjoyable part of your trip.

If you have a positive experience at our airport then we are happy. We welcome your feedback and hope that you will always let us know about the quality of your BTV experience, positive or not.

Our staff performs many functions, such as administration, airport operations, maintenance, engineering, and planning for the future to ensure that our facility keeps up with the changing dynamics of travel.

Recently, we have been working on plans for a parking garage addition, expansion of our taxiway system to allow business development, design for a new Aviation Technical Center, an update of the Airport Master Plan, and the acquisition of more homes close to the airport that are affected by noise.

The airport is becoming greener every day, utilizing certified green cleaners and recycled paper products throughout the facility. We are conducting a comprehensive energy audit that will save hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of energy, and we have recently completed a project to treat aircraft deicing fluid naturally so that it does not get into our rivers, streams, and lake.

We are featuring an exhibition that is a bold tribute to the 400 years since Samuel de Champlain sailed on the lake that now bears his name. Designed and created by the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, the exhibit will remain in place throughout this year and we hope you enjoy it. We also contributed resources to the wonderful Waterfront Festival put on by the City of Burlington in honor of the quadricentennial.

While at the airport, we hope you will visit our observation tower, which is one of the early BTV air traffic control sites. You’ll enjoy a great view of aircraft operations with the beautiful Green Mountains in the background, while listening to real-time communications between our current ATC tower and the aircraft coming and going. The Observation Tower is located on the second floor of the terminal and is open from 9 am to 5 pm, seven days a week.

We know that times are tough for people right now, but there are signs of recovery and the airlines are responding with many sales on some of your favorite routes. We hope that you will take advantage of these bargains and continue to click on Burlington as your favorite place of departure.
