KPWM is the ICAO code for Portland International Jetport (IATA PWM), located in Portland, ME.
Portland International Jetport (KPWM) is a large airport in Portland, ME. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KPWM or IATA code PWM. It sits in North America.
Portland International Jetport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Private operators share airspace and ground infrastructure with airline movements, which can mean longer taxi times during scheduled banks and the need to book FBO ramp space ahead of major events.
The longest runway measures 7,200 ft (2,195 m), a heavy-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, and Bombardier Global 5500. In practice this most heavy and super-midsize jets operate here without restriction.
Portland International Jetport sits near sea level at 76 ft.
Local operations run on America/New_York. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.
SkyAccess currently tracks 55 departing and 148 arriving private-jet legs at KPWM across the next six months of operator inventory. 2 aircraft from 17 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.
For high-volume bizjet markets like Portland, KPWM is typically the default for international arrivals and large-cabin departures, with quieter satellite fields nearby that operators use to avoid peak-weekend congestion.
