Coronavirus and Travel: What You Need To Know

The short answer is “No.”

Bangor Aviation Services is required by the Federal Aviation Administration to remain open and provide air service. The FBO is considered essential and remains open.

We are asking that foot traffic in the FBO be limited to passengers, crew and other essential employees at this time, with an exception for those who require assistance to get in and out of the terminal. If you have any questions, please call 207.992.4582.

(Effective 5/9/2022) Masks are required inside Airport buildings due to the Maine CDC’s designation of Penobscot County to Red (high risk level). All people who enter BGR facilities MUST wear a face covering, regardless of vaccination status. The City of Bangor will continue to follow CDC protocols. Should the CDC change the risk level to YELLOW or GREEN, the City will return to an optional masking policy. Read the City of Bangor press release here.

Maine is currently operating under an “all states exempt unless specified” model. This means that travelers coming to or returning to Maine are not required to quarantine or show proof of a negative test unless coming from a non-exempt state.
