Following last month's announcement about federal funding to replace several jet bridges, we wanted to share this shot of one from 1976, the year of our 50th anniversary! ⌛

Where are you headed as we get ready to celebrate our 100th birthday? 🥳

🙌 $1.8 MILLION in federal funding has been secured to replace our parking lot shuttle vans! 🙌

With several of the vans registering more than 150,000 miles and showing wear and tear from thousands of airport parking lot pick-ups and drop-offs, new ELECTRIC vans will ensure the airport remains competitive with its peers on both sides of the border, offering the latest amenities to families on the move. ⚡🚐

Thank you to Congressman Timothy Kennedy for securing this needed funding! 🙏

🏆 Balchen/Post Award honorable mention! 🏆

During this year's International Aviation Snow Symposium - Buffalo, our crews here at BUF were recognized "for outstanding achievement in airport snow and ice control." 🧊❄️

The Buffalo Niagara International Airport’s Airfield Department not only kept the airport open during some of the most grueling winter conditions, but did so with unfaltering excellence — earning widespread recognition from passengers, local media, and congressional representatives alike. 👏

Throughout the season, the Airfield Department demonstrated exemplary commitment — training new staff, overcoming supply chain obstacles, and working extraordinary hours without hesitation. Their tireless efforts meant that, despite the unrelenting onslaught of winter, the airport closed for only twenty minutes all season—a feat that sets a new standard for operational excellence. ☃️

Remarkably, this brief closure is almost inconsequential given the unrelenting barrage of snow faced this season. Buffalo endured 88.3 inches of snowfall—impressive in quantity, but even more remarkable in its persistence. The airport experienced 60 days of measurable snowfall, including eight consecutive days, and the longest reprieve between events was just over a week in November. Through it all, the Airfield Department’s crews rose to every challenge. 💪
