Albany International Airport

Albany International Airport (KALB) sits in Colonie, New York, 5 miles northwest of downtown Albany. The two runways (8,500 ft, 7,200 ft) handle every current business jet. Field elevation 285 ft, no density-altitude concerns. Albany is New York's state capital — heavy state-government flow during legislative sessions plus the broader Capital Region corporate community (GlobalFoundries semiconductor in Malta, Saratoga). Ground time to the State Capitol is 15 minutes; Saratoga Springs is 30.
