TWA and United dropped IPT in 1965-66, leaving Allegheny Airlines. For a year or two 1974-75 Allegheny flew BAC One-Elevens and Douglas DC-9-30s Pittsburgh to Williamsport; few or no jets at IPT since then. Scheduled flights were reduced in the 1980s, 1990s, and in 2004 when US Airways' prop affiliate ended flights to Pittsburgh International Airport. US Airways Express now has 3 flights a day to Philadelphia.

Future

The Williamsport Municipal Airport Authority announced the terminal will be replaced with a building twice the size. There are plans for a new control tower. Airport officials said the project will cost around $13 million, and they are hope to get state and federal grant money. The new terminal is expected to be open by the end of 2013.
