The '''Portland International Jetport''' is a regional airport located on the border between Portland and South Portland, Maine. The Jetport is a largely seasonal airport seeing heavy service from mainline jets in the summer, but light traffic from mostly Regional Jets in the winter. Spotting opportunities at the airport are limited, but there are a number of sites around the airport perimeter which offer views of aircraft movement. | |||

Traffic at the Jetport is very seasonal, varying from a bustling mainline destination in the summer to a sleepy RJ landing strip in the winter. Portland is served by Delta, US Airways, United, and their regional affiliates, as well as JetBlue and AirTran. In the middle of the summer 737s, A320s, and MD-88s join a heavy mix of Regional Jets and corporate traffic. During the winter months, the spread of aircraft remains relatively the same, but thins out significantly during the day. FedEx flies a single Boeing 757 into Portland which remains throughout the day, while small cargo feeder aircraft operate sporadically. | Traffic at the Jetport is very seasonal, varying from a bustling mainline destination in the summer to a sleepy RJ landing strip in the winter.
