Pease Air Force Base

Pease Air Force Base, originally established in the 1930s and now operating as a joint civil‑military field, has a single passenger terminal and a compact footprint that makes it an easy choice for travelers to the Seacoast New Hampshire and southern Maine. The airport is an important regional gateway and home to the New Hampshire Air National Guard’s 157th Air Refueling Wing, while also hosting seasonal low‑cost carriers. Located just minutes from downtown Portsmouth and within about an hour of Portland and Boston by car via I‑95, it offers rental cars, shuttle options and limited bus connections. Parking and fares tend to be budget‑friendly compared with larger hubs.
