Ticket to a Better BGR

Ticket to a Better BGR

2025 a time for opportunity and growth at Bangor International Airport (BGR)

The Road to Renovation
The $46.9 million Runway Rehabilitation Project continues during the 2025 construction season with work scheduled to be completed on the middle and South End of the runway.

The Need for Change

This project is more than a runway renovation; it’s a promise to our community, passengers, and partners that BGR will continue to soar as a gateway to the world, grounded in safety, innovation, and resilience.

Last year was filled with significant projects aimed at improving the experience here at BGR, and while we achieved a lot, there’s still more to accomplish. One of the biggest undertakings remains the rehabilitation of our runway, which had reached the end of its useful life. In 2024, we successfully completed the first half of this critical project. Along the way, we learned valuable lessons that have helped us better prepare for the second and final phase during the 2025 construction season.

Support All Around

This project wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support from our partners and the community:

  • Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): Contributing $27.4 million.
  • Maine Air National Guard (MEANG): Providing $16.4 million.
  • Maine Department of Transportation (Maine DOT) and Bangor International Airport: Each offering $1.5 million.

Monty Moose Parking Lot
The new Monty Moose Parking Lot has been completed!
With passenger traffic numbers increasing by more than 30%  in the last 5 years at BGR, it was time for an additional, convenient long-term parking option.
Located adjacent to Godfrey Boulevard, the newly constructed parking lot allows an added capacity of more than 800 parking spaces. Remember to follow the instructions on signage along Godfrey Boulevard to help determine your best parking option when you arrive.
