SYR AIRPORT & FLIGHT STATUS

Syracuse Hancock SYR Airport Overview

Syracuse Hancock International Airport SYR serves central New York State and its surrounding counties. It may be noted that during the winter months when snow averages 114 inches, its vast snow removal equipment, including the world's largest snowplow, allow the Airport to have fewer flight delays.

The Airport is located near Mattydale, 4.6 miles northeast of the city of Syracuse, in Onondaga County of central New York State, and is situated within three miles of intersecting Interstate Hwys 81 and 90 (the New York Throughway). There is also direct access from the Interstate Hwys to Airport parking, curbside driving lanes for quick drop off/pick up and curbside baggage check-in.

With two long runways and an estimated 2 million passengers a year, Syracuse Hancock Airport is served by several major airlines offering nonstop flights to destinations in the U.S. and Canada, with connecting flights throughout the world.

The on-Airport Inn-Best Western (315-455-7362) is located within walking distance of the passenger terminal complex and has its own parking facility.

The passenger terminal complex at Syracuse Hancock International Airport has, under one roof,  a South Terminals A  and a North Terminal B - connected by a Main Concourse. (For more information, please refer to 'Terminal Map' page.)

Parking options at Syracuse Hancock Airport: (For more information, please refer to 'Airport Parking' page.)

To get from Syracuse Hancock International to your destination, you can rent a car, take a taxi, a limo, or van shuttle:
Syracuse Regional Airport Taxi is the Airport's only company permitted to stage vehicles at the Airport and operate dispatch centers from the baggage claim area of the terminal. The company also offers shuttle vans. You can visit them at syracusetaxi.com or call 315- 437-5555. For any other ground transportation questions, contact the Department of Aviation at 315-454-3263.

Present & Future Airport Developments:  While it is not yet clear when and if the planned extension of runway 10/28, and construction of a third runway, will become reality, the  passenger terminal has started to undergo major renovation and will receive a 147,000 sq.feet extension between the concourses, as well as a new centralized TSA screening area, all expected to be completed by 2012.  The project is to be funded by passenger facility charges, not by tax payers.  Unfortunately, the Airport site has not seen fit so far to mentioned this $63M Passenger Terminal Security & Access Improvement Project - and older news articles available lack specifics & differ in completion date (2012 or 2013).
