Erie International Airport / Tom Ridge Field (IATA: ERI, ICAO: KERI) is a public airport serving northwestern Pennsylvania and located five miles (8 km) southwest of the central business district (CBD) of Erie, a city in Erie County. It features commercial service by regional airlines, connecting passengers to hubs in the northeast, midwest, and southeast.

Pre 9/11 the airport was in its hey-day with US Air mainline jets to many destinations, and an international destiantion to Toronto, after 9/11 Us Airways went from 737s and 757s to Turboprops. The Airport is looking to expand service to New York, Chicago, and many other places. Canadian Airlines also served the city, and so have piedmont and alleghany, prior to mergers. Erie International is in the process of building a longer runway and a cargo terminal. The Terminal is very navigable and has virtually no wait at the security check-point.
