CenterState CEO recognizes the importance of connecting the region with the rest
of the nation and the world in an interconnected, global economy. Convenient, affordable
air service at Syracuse Hancock International Airport is a high-priority for CEO
members.
CenterState CEO launched its Air Service Development efforts and the
Fly Syracuse campaign
in 2003. In partnership with the City of Syracuse, CenterState CEO works directly
with airlines to attract new flights, reduce fares, and promote the use of Syracuse
Hancock International Airport. Through Fly Syracuse campaigns, new flights and airport
improvements are promoted to create public awareness and increase passenger traffic.
Thanks to these efforts, passengers at Hancock Airport have benefitted from reduced
fares, additional service and new routes, and improved passenger amenities at the
airport.
Recent airport improvements include the introduction of new computer workstations,
new terminal television and flight status monitors, free wi-fi access throughout
the terminal, and parking enhancements including EZ pass payment options.
Additional enhancements are scheduled for Hancock Airport, including a $63 million
security and expansion project. This project will create a larger, single access
point to the north and south terminal piers; feature new passenger amenities and
additional space for concessions; and include energy-efficient features that qualify
for LEED-silver certification – making it one of the greenest airports in the nation.
Hancock Airport is served by all major US carriers, Air Canada, and popular low
cost carrier, JetBlue Airways. Syracuse travelers can choose from more than 120
flights daily, with non-stop service to 15 destinations.
