BTV Airport Overview
Burlington International Airport BTV is located three miles east of the city of Burlington, which is situated on the shores of Lake Champlain, home to the University of Vermont. As Vermont's largest airport it offers commercial, as well as private and charter flights. It is a most convenient and welcoming airport, affording travelers to walk to the parking terminal. Burlington International is served by many major and minor airlines offering non-stops to cities within the country and Canada, with worldwide connections. Business and leisure travelers appreciate BTV Airport's friendly service, excellent on-schedule record, and direct flight routes.
The Airport offers both short- and long-term parking in the parking garage directly in front of the passenger terminal, as well as at its Park & Shuttle lot near the airport exit. The main entrance to the parking garage is to your left, past the terminal building. An illuminated entrance display sign quotes the number of spaces available on each garage level. Public transportation's UMALL/AIRPORT bus routes connect the Airport with Burlington, South Burlington, and the University of Vermont. To choose a taxi, look at the listing in the Yellow Pages. Some hotels offer to their guests their own courtesy shuttles from/to the Airports.
Look out for the new Discover 1609 exhibit. The exhibit commemorates the rich history of Lake Champlain as part of the 2009 celebration of Lake Champlain's Quadricentennial - the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain’s travels on Lake Champlain. The exhibit uses the Airport’s gates, ticket counters and waiting areas to create a display of dramatic images from Lake Champlain’s past. Exhibit features include “Shipwreck Alley” which uses a hallway area to highlight some of Lake Champlain’s most harrowing shipwrecks; a 32-foot Champlain Longboats Pilot Gig in baggage claim; and a replica 1609 Birch Bark canoe and exhibit in the mezzanine.
