Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport is located in a borough of Avoca, Pennsylvania. It is several miles away from both Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, and so it serves two counties — Luzerne County and Lackawanna County. Passengers flying into the fifth-largest airport in the state can choose among several airport transportation options.
