π WELL, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT! Apparently, we're kind of a big deal. π
Our friends at WBLM recently shared a list of New England's busiest airports, and guess who landed at number EIGHT?
Yep. Little ol' BGR.
Now, before anyone gets too excited, let's acknowledge that New England only has six states, and the number of airports competing for this prestigious top-ten honor isn't exactly astronomical. π But hey, we're on the list, and we're celebrating! π
Of course, passenger boarding numbers only tell a small part of our story...they don't count the military aircraft that stop here, the international flights that rely on us, the cargo that moves through our airport, or the countless people working behind the scenes to keep it all moving.
Numbers certainly don't measure the heart of this place, including the familiar faces who show up at all hours, in all kinds of weather- the Maine Troop Greeters who have made BGR a place of unforgettable homecomings. πΊπ² We're your hometown airport with a really big runway and an even bigger sense of community.
Are we the busiest airport in New England? Not even close. Are we going to enjoy our moment as number eight? You bet your boarding pass we are. π
Thanks for the shoutout, WBLM! π«Άπ»
