About This Airport
The name on the field recalls a 1926 polar flight: Floyd Bennett, who flew Richard Byrd toward the North Pole, came from this corner of upstate New York, and the county-owned airport at Glens Falls (IATA: GFL, ICAO: KGFL) carries his name. It works as a general aviation field for Warren County and the Lake George resort country, with two paved runways of roughly 1,520 and 1,220 metres, an ILS approach to the main runway and a recently renovated FBO terminal run by Rich Air. The airport is open around the clock, except during the Adirondack Balloon Festival each September, when the field itself becomes the venue. There is no scheduled airline service, no freight handling, no cargo terminal and no customs post on site. Air freight for Glens Falls and the southern Adirondack foothills moves through Albany International Airport (ALB), a little over 90 kilometres south on Interstate 87, where the integrators and US Customs and Border Protection are present. Intercontinental shipments are usually trucked on to the New York gateways JFK and Newark (EWR) by road feeder service, with Burlington (BTV) in Vermont as the northern alternative.
