[6][7] Harrisburg International Airport has been serving south-central Pennsylvania since the late 19th century..[8] Beginning in 1898, the Signal Corps of the U.S. Army was stationed here.

[10] In 1998, the Commonwealth transferred ownership to the Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority (SARAA).

[12] Harrisburg International Airport covers 680 acres (280 ha) at an elevation of 310 feet (94 m) above mean sea level.

In the year ending December 31, 2021, the airport had 48,788 aircraft operations, an average of 134 per day: 26% air taxi, 29% general aviation, 27% scheduled commercial and 18% military.

The first level accommodates all limos, taxis, hotel shuttles, public and charter buses, plus the rental car ready/return lot.

On the second floor of the lobby area, climate-controlled moving sidewalks connect to the aerial walkway to the terminal.

[15] Route 7 of the Capital Area Transit System runs to downtown Harrisburg and surrounding communities.

There had been a proposal to construct a new rail terminal adjacent to the MMTF, but the final location chosen for the new station is about 2 miles (3.2 km) east, in Middletown.

The 193 SOW is the sole operator of this critical aircraft asset for the entire US Air Force and in 2001 transitioned from the EC-130E to the new EC-130J variant.
