Albany International Airport (IATA: ALB, ICAO: KALB) is an airport of entry serving Albany, New York. It is located
in the Town of Colonie about 6 miles (10 km) north of Albany.
Occasionally Delta runs a Boeing 757-200 during holiday periods, and many times a week, UPS runs a 757-200 in for cargo. Today,
about half of the planes that depart and land in Albany International Airport are operated by regional aircraft. The only airlines to operate mainline
aircraft are Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and US Airways. The largest passenger aircraft to fly into
ALB today is the Boeing 737-400, which is operated by US Airways. However, Northwest Airlines and United Airlines do use an Airbus
A320 on their routes from Detroit, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois, with seating for 148 passengers. Although the airport is
significant and well-equipped, it is essentially a domestic airport, with its only scheduled international flights to Canada.
