CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority announced the completion of construction on Runway 5-23 at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
The construction began in the summer and involved comprehensive upgrades to the runway’s surface, lighting, and navigational aids, enhancing safety and operational resilience to support the increasing demands of both commercial and general aviation.
"The NFTA will continue its ongoing efforts to support Western New York’s economic growth and connectivity, and with Runway 5-23 back in service, the airport stands well-prepared to manage increasing passenger volumes and enhance the travel experience for everyone in the region," the NFTA said in a release.
There will be additional construction next summer, but the NFTA said it will not impact the main runway.
