Rochester Airport: A Brief History Timeline

The site of the Greater Rochester International Airport, originally known as Britton Field, was used for aviation purposes as early as 1919.
In the 1920s, Eastman Kodak Company and the United States Army used Britton Field as a landing field for the testing of Kodak's aerial photography experiments.
In 1928, the name of the aviation field was changed from Britton Field to Rochester Municipal Airport.
After the 1963 expansion gave it its final layout, the terminal had ten gates in two concourses.
By the early 1980’s conditions at the ROC terminal were beginning to show signs that the facility needed yet again another upgrade to accommodate its continued growth.
In February of 2005, the terminal went through yet another renovation to better accommodate record passenger growth.
In 2016, ROC was the first airport in New York State to win Governor Andrew Cuomo's Upstate Airport Economic Development and Revitalization Competition.
