Maine Airport Adding Food Truck Court in 2026

When people think about airports in Maine, they typically focus in on two cities, Bangor and Portland.

Those two places are home to the state's largest commercial airports. In fact, the Portland International Jetport set a record for passengers in 2025 exceeding 2.5 million.

But for many years, neither Portland nor Bangor has been home to the 'busiest' airport in Maine.

That title has belonged to the Sanford Seacoast Regional Airport. The Sanford, Maine, airport has been a hub for corporate flights, flight training and general aviation.

And it's about to become home to something else unique.
