It is 3 miles (5&nbsp;km) west of the city of [[Bangor, Maine|Bangor]], [[Maine]], [[United States]]. It is owned and operated by the City of Bangor. It used to be a [[military base]] called '''Dow Air Force Base'''. The airport has a single runway that is 11,439&nbsp;ft (3486 m) long and 200&nbsp;ft (60 m) wide. The airport is used a lot because it's near the [[Great Circle Route]], a major air route between [[Europe]] and the [[East Coast of the United States]]. The 'international' in the airport's name doesn't refer to it being close to [[Canada]] (to which it has no regular flights), but its role in travel across the [[Atlantic Ocean]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.airnav.com/airport/KBGR|title=AirNav: KBGR - Bangor International Airport|website=www.airnav.com}}</ref> Bangor International Airport has passenger service on three airlines, [[Delta Airlines]], [[Allegiant Air]], and [[US Airways]]. ==References== {{Reflist}} [[Category:Airports in the United States]] [[Category:Bangor, Maine]] [[Category:Buildings and structures in
