Buffalo Niagara International Airport is an airport located in Cheektowaga CDP, Town of Cheektowaga, in Erie County, New York, USA. It is named after the Buffalo – Niagara Falls metropolitan area. The airport serves Buffalo, New York as well as Southern Ontario, Canada. It is the busiest airport in Upstate New York, and the third busiest in New York State by number of boardings, following New York City's La Guardia Airport and JFK Airport.
The proximity of Buffalo Niagara International Airport to the 8.4 million residents of Ontario's Golden Horseshoe region, makes it a very popular airport for Canadians travelling to US destinations. In fact, about one of every three passengers of all passengers utilizing the airport is from Canada. Airfares from Canadian airports to the US are generally higher due to multiple issues which include: fewer competing airlines in Canada, higher taxes, customs and immigration surcharges imposed on international flights, higher operating costs, a higher than historic value of the Canadian Dollar and airport improvement fees imposed on travellers at Canadian airports. There are many shuttles between the airport and cities throughout Southern Ontario, especially to Toronto Pearson International Airport in Toronto.
