Recent history

• Albany International Airport is unique because it is one of the only 4 airports in the world using dual jetbridges (one bridge for the back, one for the front). However, only Southwest Airlines uses them.
• US Airways used to have major operations at Albany. Including its own hangar, US Airways Club, MetroJet services to Orlando and Baltimore, and dozens of mainline flights a day. These services were cut down when US Airways went bankrupt, after the time period of the 9-11 attacks.
• Construction has recently been completed on the 1,300 foot runway extension for runway 1/19. The runway now measures 8,500 feet. [3]
• With the January 2006 shutdown of Independence Air, the airport is in further discussions with JetBlue Airways (which serves all other major upstate airports), AirTran (which served Albany for a brief period in the late 1990s) [4], and Frontier Airlines [5] to expand service to the airport.

The Anticipated Concourse D

There have been discussions between the Town of Colonie and The Albany Airport Board regarding the construction of a new concourse. The concourse would be built to satisfy the needs of growing US Airways and Southwest. The new concourse would also be useful for new airlines coming to the airport. The concourse would have about 10 gates. However, there is insufficient space for the new facility.
