The Portland Jetport had its all-time busiest year in 2025, with almost 2.6 million passengers passing through the facility, breaking the record of 2.48 million in 2024.
The Jetport says it’s seen a rapid restoration of service since the pandemic and was the first airport in New England to surpass its pre-pandemic levels.

“Another record setting year is in the books,” said airport director Paul Bradbury. “We can’t emphasize enough how unusual it is for northern New England to outperform the region. It is a testament to the strength of the Portland and Maine markets.”

American Airlines is the largest carrier at the Jetport, carrying almost 30 percent of the passengers.
