Niagara Falls International Airport Hotels

Niagara Falls International Airport is to the north of Route 62 (Niagara Falls Boulevard) around four miles east of the city of Niagara Falls in New York State.

The airport dates to 1928, when four stone runways paved the way towards the first terminal building, which opened in 1935. Buffalo-based aviation company Bell Aerospace took up residence at the airport, and went on to develop the world’s first civilian-use helicopter in 1941 and the first super sonic plane, the Bell X-1, in 1947.

Niagara Falls International Airport entered an active military phase during World War II and a joint-use agreement with the United States Air Force is still in use. International flights were approved in 1965, and after several runway-lengthening works over the past few decades, NFIA is now able to accommodate the largest aircraft flying today.
