Northeast Kingdom International Airport (EFK)

Northeast Kingdom International Airport (EFK), formerly known as Newport State Airport, is a state-owned public-use facility located three miles southwest of Newport in Orleans County, Vermont. Spanning 540 acres, the airport features two asphalt runways, including the 5,300-foot primary runway (18/36) which is equipped with an Instrument Landing System (ILS). It serves as a vital international gateway for the region, providing on-site U.S. Customs and Border Protection services for private and corporate aircraft arriving from Canada and other international destinations. The passenger terminal facilities are managed by Lakeview Aviation, the resident Fixed-Base Operator (FBO). The terminal building offers a range of services for pilots and executive travelers, including a comfortable crew lounge, a snooze room, and a professional conference room for business meetings. Lakeview Aviation provides comprehensive line services such as 24-hour self-service and full-service aviation fuel (100LL and Jet A), aircraft maintenance, and de-icing equipment. The facility also hosts a flight school and provides hangar rentals and tie-down space for visiting aircraft. As a general aviation hub, there are no scheduled commercial airline services at EFK. Travelers using the facility typically arrive via private or chartered aircraft and must arrange ground transportation in advance. Rental car services can be coordinated through Lakeview Aviation for delivery to the terminal, and local taxi providers serve the Newport area. The airport's location is strategically positioned near the southern end of Lake Memphremagog, offering easy access to the scenic Northeast Kingdom region and the Canadian border. For commercial flight connections, the nearest major hubs are Burlington International Airport (BTV) and Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) in Canada.
