Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (IATA code: AVP, ICAO code: KAVP) is the fifth largest airport in Pennsylvania by passenger count. It is mostly in Pittston Township, Pennsylvania, and spans the border between Luzerne County and Lackawanna County, which co-own and co-operate the airport. Located about 7 miles from Scranton and 8 miles from Wilkes-Barre, it calls itself "your gateway to Northeastern Pennsylvania and the Pocono Mountains".
Covering an area of 910 acres (368 ha) , the airport has one passenger terminal with 8 gates. Gates 1 and 2 are on the lower level; Gates 3 through 8 are on the second floor. Gates 1 & 2 are used by American Eagle & United Express for their turboprops. Since they switched to jets, these two gates are not used daily. Jets are parked here if all the other gates are being used or for diversions. Gates 4 and 6 used to be used by Delta Airlines and Delta Connection. Since Delta ended service, these two gates are not used daily.
