Edward F Knapp State

Edward F. Knapp State Airport, serving Montpelier and central Vermont, opened in the mid-20th century and operates a compact single-terminal facility focused on general aviation and limited scheduled flights. As the capital region’s small but important airport, it provides quick access to Montpelier and nearby Barre—about a 10–15 minute drive—via US-302/VT-12, with taxis, rental cars and occasional shuttle service linking to local towns; Burlington’s larger airport is roughly an hour away. Parking and terminal costs are modest, making it generally affordable for private and short-haul travelers, though scheduled fares can be higher due to limited competition. The field is primarily used by regional carriers and charter operators, with services historically provided by small airlines such as Cape Air.
