Niagara Falls International Airport breaks ground on new 69,430 s/f, two-story terminal: A $29.7 million project

A groundbreaking was held for a new passenger terminal at the Niagara Falls International Airport (NFTA). The $29.7 million project is a 69,430 s/f, two-story terminal which is considered crucial to the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority's efforts to land more charter and direct passenger service at the airport. The new terminal will replace the old single-story terminal. The airport has recently became the local hub for Myrtle Beach Direct Airlines that offers limited air service between Niagara Falls and Myrtle Beach, S.C. NFTA is negotiating with other charter and air carriers for service to the airport. The project is expected to be completed in July 2009.
