Ogdensburg International Airport (IATA: OGS, ICAO: KOGS, FAA LID: OGS) is a public airport two miles southeast of Ogdensburg, in St. Lawrence County, New York.[1] It is owned by the Ogdensburg Bridge & Port Authority[1] and is just outside the city limits on NY 812. It is used for general aviation and sees one airline, subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.

Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 603 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,[2] 2,036 in 2009 and 2,329 in 2010.[3] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation airport (the commercial service category requires at least 2,500 enplanements per year).[4]

Facilities

Ogdensburg International Airport covers 500 acres (202 ha) at an elevation of 297 feet (91 m). Its one runway, 9/27, is 5,200 by 150 feet (1,585 x 46 m) asphalt. In the year ending June 30, 2011 the airport had 2,756 aircraft operations, average 229 per month: 53% air taxi, 44% general aviation, and 4% military. Seven aircraft were then based at the airport, all single-engine.[1] There are a handful of buildings: a small hangar, storage shed and fire hall.

The FAA has approved a plan to extend the runway by 1,200 feet, making it possible for larger commercial air carriers to serve the airport.[5]
