Reeves said. “We may not have the biggest airport, but we always strive to be the best — and this award validates those efforts."

A panel of experts which included editors from USA Today and 10Best.com, as well as other contributors from Gannett media properties, selected the top 20 airports. The final ranking was determined through a month-long public vote.

"To be named among the nation's best small airports confirms our team's dedication to excellence," Airport Director Matt Coughlin said. "Every day, we strive to provide top-tier experiences for our travelers. We thank our community and passengers for their continued trust and support."
