Albany International Airport


Albany International Airport
Albany International Airport (IATA: ALB, ICAO: KALB, FAA LID: ALB) is seven miles (11 km) northwest of Albany, in Albany County, New York, United States. It is owned by the Albany County Airport Authority.  ALB covers 1,000 acres (400 ha) of land.

It is an airport of entry  in the town of Colonie. It was built on the site of the Shaker settlement about 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Albany and stretching north to the hamlet of Verdoy. The airport is below class C airspace.

UPS Airlines and FedEx Airlines operate the Boeing 757-200 to the airport five days a week for cargo. As of April 2017, about half of the flights at ALB are smaller regional aircraft. Airlines that operate mainline aircraft are Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airway, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines. The largest passenger aircraft to fly into ALB on a daily basis is the Boeing 737-800 operated by Southwest Airlines, and the Airbus A320 by JetBlue Airways. United Airlines flies in peak travel seasons, either a 737-800 or 737-900ER from its hub at Chicago O'Hare International Airport. American Airlines also flies occasionally during peak travel seasons, Airbus A321s from their hub at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. The airport does, however, have the capability to accommodate larger aircraft. In 2009 a pair of Boeing VC-25s (747-200) (Air Force One and the spare) landed at ALB, when President Barack Obama made a visit to Hudson Valley Community College in nearby Troy.[citation needed] In January 2018, Albany accommodated an almost fully loaded Norwegian Air Shuttle 787 bound for New York's John F. Kennedy from London after it landed due to a snow storm in New York City. All 316 people aboard were processed through customs at Albany, and sent by bus to New York City.

              With Cargo Crime on the Rise, CakeBoxx is an Effective Security Solution In the last week there have been over $1B in container-related drug seizures in major US east coast ports, involving world class, C-TPAT Tier 3 companies. Astounding – yes! But what about all those container security programs? The exploitation of intermodal shipping containers as a conveyance for illegal drugs, weapons and other illicit materials has never been greater. More containers, bigger ships, increasing market driven need for speed – even the most diligent shippers are susceptible to the sophistication of modern-day supply chain crime. Everything scales. No doubt that advanced data, process management and container tracking systems are invaluable tools for today’s fast-paced supply chains. But, there is nothing like real ‘physical’ security to deter crime, protect your customers, your cargo and your reputation. CakeBoxx two...
