Albany International Airport: New York

Albany International Airport

Albany International Airport (IATA: ALB, ICAO: KALB) is an airport of entry serving Albany, New York. It is located in the Town of Colonie about 6 miles (10 km) north of Albany.
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.
CommutAir, flying as Continental Connection, had dozens of daily non-stop flights to 20 destinations from a “micro-hub” 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’s lower-level. The hub was downsized and eventually closed down in 2005, and today only serves Buffalo.
