Lebanon Municipal Airport (IATA: LEB, ICAO: KLEB), also known as Lebanon Airport, is a public airport located in West Lebanon, three miles (5 km) west of the central business district (CBD) of Lebanon, a city in Grafton County, New Hampshire, USA. It is the northernmost commercial airport in New Hampshire, near the Vermont border, off Interstate 89 just south of the junction with Interstate 91. Other nearby towns include Hanover, New Hampshire and White River Junction, Vermont. The area is also the home of Dartmouth College and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. The airport covers 563 acres (228 ha) and has two runways.
In recent years, the airport has struggled due to competition with the much larger Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, 65 miles (87 kilometers) away.[1] Colgan Air formerly offered non-stop flights from Lebanon to New York-La Guardia Airport operating as US Airways Express. The airline first operated the flights with the Beechcraft 1900, and later with the Saab 340 before service ended in November 2008.
On November 2, 2008, Cape Air began offering service to Boston.[1] Airline service is subsidized by the Essential Air Service program utilizing the smaller Cessna 402 aircraft. The terminal building has typical facilities such as baggage claim, a check-in desk, rental car services, and airport security.
