More Gates. More Destinations. More Flexibility for Your Attendees.
Leahy BTV already offers direct routes to 16 destinations, including Washington DC, New York, Chicago, and Atlanta. The new terminal adds four additional gates and four new passenger boarding bridges designed to accommodate larger aircraft, a critical upgrade that opens the door to new destination options and increased airlift into Burlington. The first departure from the new terminal headed to Washington, D.C., signaling Vermont's expanded connectivity to major markets.
For meeting planners coordinating group travel from across the country, more gates and larger aircraft mean more routing options, more seats, and fewer logistical headaches. Getting your attendees to Burlington just became significantly easier.
Built the Vermont Way: A Net-Zero Terminal
Sustainability isn't a footnote in Vermont and you can see that commitment in BTV’s architecture. The new terminal was designed from the ground up to minimize environmental impact and set a new standard for green airport construction.
Net-Zero Energy Design: The terminal harnesses geothermal wells for heating and cooling and solar panels for electricity generation, producing as much energy as it consumes.
Mass Timber Construction: The soaring natural wood ceiling - built with mass timber - is both the soul of the building and a deliberate choice to reduce reliance on carbon-intensive steel.
Smart Infrastructure: Integrated sensors, data analytics, and AI-driven systems monitor energy and water usage in real time, optimizing efficiency across the entire facility.
Circular Economy Principles: From recycled building materials to closed-loop water systems, waste reduction was engineered into every phase of design and construction.
For organizations with sustainability mandates, and the meeting planners who serve them, choosing Burlington means choosing a destination that walks the talk.
Faster, Smoother Security
The new terminal features a redesigned, modernized layout engineered for operational efficiency including improved passenger circulation and boarding processes that move travelers from curb to gate with far less friction. When federal TSA pay disruptions recently threatened operations, the BTV community rallied to support its screening team — a testament to the culture at this airport. With federal pay restored and the new terminal fully operational, your attendees can expect a smooth, stress-free security experience.
This is not O'Hare. This is not JFK. This is a nationally acclaimed small airport where the experience is genuinely different.
