Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (KAVP) is a medium-sized public airport serving northeastern Pennsylvania, sited near Avoca between Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. It offers a full-length ILS-equipped main runway and a shorter crosswind runway, making it a straightforward destination for both airline and general aviation traffic flying under instrument or visual conditions.
KAVP is a medium-hub airport serving the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton metropolitan area of northeastern Pennsylvania. It has scheduled airline service as well as general aviation traffic, and its longer runway is equipped with an ILS, making it usable in a range of weather conditions. For a simulator pilot, it offers a realistic mix of airline and light aircraft operations with the procedural interest of an ILS approach.
The airport sits near Avoca, Pennsylvania, between the cities of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. It is a controlled aerodrome with its own approach/departure and tower frequencies, indicating it lies within surrounding controlled airspace typical of a field handling scheduled airline traffic.
KAVP has two physical runways. The main runway, 04/22, is 7,491 feet long with a hard surface, runway lighting, and an ILS approach. The secondary runway, 10/28, is 4,281 feet long, also hard-surfaced and lit, but without an instrument approach.
Pilots should expect the following frequencies at KAVP: ATIS on 111.6 MHz, Approach/Departure on 124.5 MHz, Tower on 120.1 MHz, Ground on 121.9 MHz, Radio on 122.2 MHz, and UNICOM on 122.95 MHz. Runway 04/22 is served by an ILS approach.
KAVP continues to operate as an international airport handling scheduled airline services alongside general aviation movements. Its longer runway's ILS capability supports instrument approaches, while the shorter runway provides a crosswind option. Further operational details can be found via the airport's official website.
