===Airports===
[[File:KPWM_Aerial_Wiki.jpg|thumb|[[Portland International Jetport]]]]
Maine receives [[Jet airliner|passenger jet]] service at its two largest airports, the [[Portland International Jetport]] in Portland, and the [[Bangor International Airport]] in Bangor. Both are served daily by many major [[airline]]s to destinations such as New York, [[Atlanta]], and [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]]. [[Essential Air Service]] also subsidizes service to a number of smaller airports in Maine, bringing small [[turboprop]] aircraft to regional airports such as the [[Augusta State Airport]], [[Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport]], [[Knox County Regional Airport]], and the [[Northern Maine Regional Airport at Presque Isle]]. These airports are served by regional providers such as [[Cape Air]] with [[Cessna 402]]s, and [[CommutAir]] with [[Embraer ERJ-145]] aircraft.

Many smaller airports are scattered throughout Maine, serving only [[general aviation]] traffic. The [[Eastport Municipal Airport]], for example, is a city-owned public-use airport with 1,200 general aviation aircraft operations each year from single-engine and ultralight aircraft.<ref>{{cite web|title=KEPM—Eastport, Maine—Eastport Municipal Airport|website=Great Circle Mapper|url=http://gc.kls2.com/airport/KEPM|access-date=August 9, 2009}}</ref>
