Tips for 50 min Connections
There are no scheduled commercial connections at this airport, so plan any travel through Burlington International Airport instead.
If arriving by private or charter aircraft, notify the small FBO in advance since staffing is limited and informal.
Do not expect TSA-style security lanes; screening, if any, is handled ad hoc for charter operations.
Ground transportation (taxi or rental car) should be arranged ahead of time as options are very limited and not always on-site.
Treat this as a general aviation airport, not a hub — there is no infrastructure for tight airline-to-airline transfers.
