Knox County Regional Airport

Knox County Regional Airport in Rockland, Maine, opened in the 1930s and operates a single small terminal that punches above its weight as the primary gateway to Midcoast Maine and Penobscot Bay islands. The compact airport is roughly a 3-mile, 10-minute drive from downtown Rockland with easy access via Route 1, plus rental cars, taxis and limited local shuttle or transit links for onward connections. Service is centered on regional carrier Cape Air, which maintains a local base for flights to Boston Logan and seasonal charters. Fares are generally competitive for short hops when booked in advance, though prices can rise during the summer tourist season.
