Atlantic City International Airport manages extensive domestic flights, operated by Spirit Airlines and Comair, a Delta Connection carrier. International flights are also available, but they are not direct. The airport handles more than one million passengers a year, an increase in volume that has pushed expansion, which is expected to draw more carriers. The airport is a small but expanding single terminal facility. Amenities are limited, with only one ATM. A tavern, deli and bar complete the drinking and dining options. Shoppers will find the requisite news-stands as well as a separate souvenir shop.
