About Aviation Technologies

Aviation Technologies operates the general aviation apron and FBO at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, managing both the main corporate ramp and the south general aviation apron. The primary corporate ramp measures 1,000 by 352 feet with access to four major hangars, providing enough space to handle aircraft up to Boeing 727 size. The company is also an FAA Part 145 Certified Repair Station with full avionics capabilities, which means maintenance expertise is available on the field rather than requiring a ferry flight elsewhere. Charter passengers arriving in northeastern Pennsylvania will find a straightforward FBO with modern crew lounges and basic passenger amenities. The facility is staffed during business hours from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday, with after-hours service available with advance notice. Fueling covers both Jet A and 100LL. The airport serves the Wilkes-Barre and Scranton metropolitan area, a region of roughly 560,000 people in the Pocono Mountains corridor. It is a practical destination for passengers headed to the Pocono resorts, Mohegan Sun Pocono casino, or the growing warehouse and logistics district along Interstate 81. The airport's location provides easy highway access to both cities, with downtown Scranton about 10 miles north and Wilkes-Barre roughly the same distance south. While the FBO lacks the upscale lounges of a major city operation, Aviation Technologies provides dependable ground handling and ramp service for corporate and charter flights in a market that sees steady business traffic year-round.
