More than 2.59 million passengers flew in and out of the Portland International Jetport in 2025, making it the busiest year in its history.
Overall traffic at the jetport surpassed the 2024 record of 2.43 million passengers. In total, nine airlines operated 27 non-stop destinations in 2025.
“Another record-setting year is in the books,” said Paul Bradbury, airport director. “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 that we continue to thrive in a challenging environment,” he continued.

- Breeze Airways added a non-stop service to Columbus, Ohio.
- Avelo Airlines added a twice-weekly non-stop service to New Haven, Conn.
- United Airlines added seasonal non-stop service to Houston.
