The airport serves as an alternate for larger commercial operations during weather diversions at nearby airports. Ground transportation includes rental car services available through advance arrangement, taxi services from downtown Wilkes-Barre, and shuttle services to area hotels and business centers.\n\nCorporate aviation users access the region's coal mining heritage sites, universities including Wilkes University and King's College, and recreational attractions in the Pocono Mountains.
