Location

Niagara Falls, United States

Niagara Falls International Airport (IAG/KIAG) is a public airport located in Niagara Falls, New York, United States, situated near the famous Niagara Falls on the US-Canada border. It serves both leisure travelers visiting the falls and regional passengers seeking an alternative to the larger Buffalo Niagara International Airport, located approximately 20 miles to the south. The airport has historically offered limited scheduled commercial service, with its traffic mix including charter flights, general aviation, and military operations. It shares its facilities with the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, a US Air Force Reserve installation, giving the airport a dual civil-military character. Due to its proximity to the Canadian border, IAG also draws travelers from the Ontario side of Niagara Falls, making it a cross-border travel option for the greater Niagara region.
