Getting Around ERI Airport
ERI Airport features a single passenger terminal that simplifies your navigation through its facilities. The terminal is structured on two levels, with most passenger services like check-in desks, baggage claim, and car rentals conveniently located on the first floor. This layout means you can move from one service to the next without the hassle of navigating through multiple buildings or terminals.
For dining and waiting, the terminal offers a renovated restaurant with access from the secure side, allowing you to relax and eat without leaving the boarding area. The terminal includes seven gates, but currently, only Gates 5 and 7 are regularly used by American Eagle, equipped with jetbridges that facilitate direct access to the aircraft.
