Portsmouth International at Pease Airport (PSM)

Portsmouth International Airport at Pease (PSM) is a primary regional aviation hub and joint-use civil-military facility serving southeastern New Hampshire and the northern Boston metropolitan area. The airport operates from a compact, modern two-story passenger terminal that underwent a significant $19.5 million expansion completed in late 2021, designed for high efficiency and a low-stress travel experience. It acts as a critical infrastructure link, sharing its substantial 11,322-foot runway with the Pease Air National Guard Base and serving as a key gateway for carriers like Allegiant Air and Breeze Airways. The terminal infrastructure provides a range of contemporary amenities across its levels, including an airside café on the upper floor that features a full liquor license and a retail shop selling local New Hampshire souvenirs. Travelers have access to specialized facilities such as a private nursing and lactation room near Gate 1 and the 'Doggie Depot,' a dedicated indoor service animal relief area located on the lower level. The building is fully accessible and offers free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the complex, featuring integrated power and USB charging stations in the modernized seating zones. Ground transportation at PSM is well-supported by on-site Enterprise rent-a-car desks located in the baggage claim area, providing a quick 10-minute link to downtown Portsmouth and the I-95 corridor. Regular COAST Bus Route 42 connections also link the airfield to regional transportation centers, while several long-term parking lots offer affordable daily rates situated just a short walk from the main entrance. The facility maintains a professional environment for both commercial passengers and general aviation users, providing two full-service FBOs including Port City Air for private and corporate aircraft missions.
