[edit] Service area

Burlington International Airport serves the Burlington metropolitan area, which contained over 206,000 residents as of 2006 U.S. Census estimates. Due to the relatively small size of the market, airlines mostly fly regional airliners on their Burlington routes. A few airlines fly larger jets, such as the Boeing 737 and planes from the Airbus A320 family, to BTV; JetBlue and United Airlines are two such carriers.

Nevertheless, BTV has flights to many major airline hubs in the East and Midwest, including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, and Atlanta.

[edit] Passenger traffic

BTV enplanes and deplanes almost 700,000 passengers annually. Burlington International represents the country's second fastest growing airport^{[citation needed]} with annual growth from 2004 to 2005 of almost nine percent.^[2]
