Portland International Jetport is a near sea-level field at 76 ft (23 m), positioned at 43.6462° N, 70.3093° W in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 7,200 ft / 2,195 m. The airport clock uses America/New_York (EDT, UTC-04:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
South Portland Gardens is the closest retained city-time anchor at 939 m. BOS Boston is the closest retained airport alternative at 154 km.
PWM is compared with BOS Boston at 154 km, PVD Providence/Warwick at 232 km, BDL Hartford at 272 km, ALB Albany at 300 km, LGA New York at 433 km inside the retained United States airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
PWM-BOS Boston: 154 km, about 1h 2m, +0h. PWM-PVD Providence/Warwick: 232 km, about 1h 8m, +0h. PWM-BDL Hartford: 272 km, about 1h 11m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies PWM as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Portland.
PWM (KPWM) is a near sea-level field at 76 ft (23 m) in the mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
PWM sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
PWM's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 7,200 ft / 2,195 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt (2).
The City of Portland is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for PWM.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at portlandjetport.org, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
PWM uses America/New_York (EDT, UTC-04:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Portland International Jetport is about 4.2 km from central Portland; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
BOS Boston is the closest retained alternate at 154 km, time difference +0h.
portlandjetport.org is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place PWM inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
PWM ranks #70 in the curated United States airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 94 airports.
PWM shares America/New_York with ALB Albany US · ATL Atlanta US · BDL Hartford US · BOS Boston US · BUF Buffalo US · BWI Baltimore US. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
PWM is 76 ft (23 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include TNA 76 ft (23 m) (0 ft delta) · MNL 75 ft (23 m) (1 ft delta) · EIN 74 ft (23 m) (2 ft delta) · LED 78 ft (24 m) (2 ft delta) · LPA 78 ft (24 m) (2 ft delta).
PWM's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are BOS 154 km +0h · PVD 232 km +0h · BDL 272 km +0h.

Distance 272 km; estimated travel window 1h 11m; destination zone America/New_York is +0h from PWM. Use the live destination clock on this page as a cross-timezone planning cue, not as a live flight schedule.
Central Portland is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Portland is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Portland International Jetport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from PWM, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
