Plattsburgh International Airport (IATA: PBG, ICAO: KPBG) is located at the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base in Plattsburgh, New York. The airport is owned by Clinton County. The airport's massive facilities are being upgraded and the county will fully transition here from Clinton County Airport. Construction completed in February 2007 and was dedicated on April 27, 2007, with federal and local personnel and the Peru Indians Marching Band. Plattsburgh International is already a fully operating and profitable industrial airport with tenants including Pratt & Whitney, Bombardier, the Department of Homeland Security, Wood Group, Commutair, and others. It is also set to host Plattsburgh Aeronautical Institute, a major new FAA approved A&P school sponsored by Clinton Community College and Champlain Valley Educational Services. Its facilities include a 12,000 foot runway and a 12 million square foot concrete ramp for cargo and aircraft.
Plattsburgh also has no night curfews or flight restrictions and enjoys calm weather year around. It is also a Foreign Trade Zone and Empire Zone, making it a virtually tax free zone for many enterprises.
It also has significant multi-modal capabilities, including its own interchange on the Interstate Highway System (Exit 36 of I-87), a direct rail spur from the main Canadian Pacific Railway line between Montreal and New York City; a new railyard on site; and direct rail and highway access to the Port of Montreal just 60 miles north. Plattsburgh International has been attempting to promote itself as "Montreal's U.S. airport," standing just one hour from downtown Montreal.
Passenger service began on June 18, 2007 and Clinton County Airport has been shut down accordingly. All airline service in Plattsburgh now goes through the new airport and local politicians are currently looking to add additional airlines to the airport.
On September 5, 2007, it was learned that Las Vegas-based airline, Allegiant Air, will offer non-stop flights from Plattsburgh International Airport to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The service began on November 16, 2007. The airline has cited Plattsburgh as an ideal location due to its proximity to Montreal. Allegiant operates a similar situation with Bellingham International Airport in Bellingham, Washington, which is close to Vancouver.[1]
Plagued with various problems and high gas prices, Big Sky Airlines announced that they would cease operations of the Northeast on January 7th, 2008. This came after the airline had numerous problems with operations due to aircraft problems and poor profits.
