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.

Runway Project a Success

We are happy to announce that after two summers of construction, Runway 15-33 at Bangor International Airport opened at full length at midday on September 10th.

While there is still a brief punch list of work to be completed, all 11,440 feet of the runway has been successfully redone and are open for business. The first aircraft to use the freshly rehabilitated runway at full length was from Bangor’s very own 101st Air Refueling Wing.

The support and collaboration of our employees, contractors, partners and stakeholders throughout this more than $45 million project have been invaluable, and we truly appreciate everyone’s work to complete this major infrastructure improvement.

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.

Terminal Connector Project

To accommodate increased passenger volumes, the Terminal Connector Project remains our priority and exterior infrastructure work is now underway. This $14.5 million project will enhance passenger experience, increase capacity and provide a new holdroom for passengers.

         

Passenger Boarding Bridge 11

As we work to replace our aging passenger boarding bridges, work has begun at Gate 11. This project will enhance our ability to accommodate current demand and support future growth.

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.
