## Description

Frederick Douglass published his abolitionist newspaper in this city, and since 2021 Rochester's airport bears his name. The Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport (IATA: ROC, ICAO: KROC) serves a region that once led the world in optics – Kodak, Xerox and Bausch + Lomb all grew up here – and still hosts a dense photonics and precision-manufacturing cluster. A cargo terminal in the airfield's north-west corner is operated by USAirports, and FedEx and UPS feeder aircraft keep Western New York's second city plugged into the express networks. Heavy and international freight routes through JFK, Newark or Toronto, while the I-90 Thruway south of town carries the road legs. New passenger routes added in 2025 include Fort Myers, Nashville and Charleston. For forwarders, ROC is a dependable regional express and belly-cargo point rather than an intercontinental gateway.
