Military aircraft and military charters are the biggest users of Pease currently. Pease competes with the [[Bangor International Airport]] as a stopover location for transatlantic charters, but sees far less frequent visitors. MD-11s and 737s occasionally stop at Pease for fuel. International military aircraft will often stop at Pease for fuel, joining the regular Air National Guard KC-46 traffic, which have mostly (but not entirely) replaced the former KC-135s that used to be based here. Alpha Flying Service, a corporate charter company, is also based at Pease, flying a fleet of 30+ Pilatus PC-12 aircraft. These small aircraft appear tiny on the huge ex-military airport, but they do fly frequently. About once a month, an AN-124 will stop at Pease. Allegiant and Frontier occasionally fly a service to or from Orlando to Pease. | ||

Pease has a small FBO building and an international terminal building, both of which lie dormant for the majority of the day. The terminal at Pease only opens for charter aircraft to clear customs since Allegiant Airlines left the airport in 2008. There is no public transportation at Pease, all spotting must be done by automobile or bicycle. | Pease has a small FBO building and an international terminal building, both of which lie dormant for the majority of the day.
