The Private Aviation Standard for Erie

Established in 1924 and named in honor of former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge, Erie International/Tom Ridge Field has evolved into a strategic hub for private aviation in the region. The airport supports over 20,000 annual flight operations with a focus on executive travel, private charters, and corporate movements.


What distinguishes ERI is its exceptional runway infrastructure: an 8,420-foot primary runway and modernized taxiways, easily accommodating midsize, super-midsize, and heavy jet categories. Unlike larger metropolitan airports, Erie offers a highly personalized arrival and departure process—guests are greeted at the FBO, move through expedited security, and are airborne within minutes. For private flyers, this translates into maximum flexibility, discrete service, and a stress-free alternative to commercial hubs.


Erie’s proximity to both the city center and regional business districts is ideal for travelers with time-sensitive commitments. Whether you’re arriving for a board meeting, a lakeside retreat, or a weekend in wine country, Erie International provides the ease and exclusivity that define luxury private jet travel.
