120 AVIATION VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 3, ISSUE 3 PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce www.visitstlc.com concludes, “My number one priority is to increase the exposure of the Ogdensburg International Airport. This is an airport with a lot to offer commercial passengers, whether they be on this side of the border or across it in Canada” “Flying from Ogdensburg to Philadelphia is easy and affordable and we want to market this as a great opportunity. If we could increase our passenger base, I would love to get a leisure carrier or two to think about charter flights from this location,” he continues. “In the past, we have had direct service to Florida for snowbirds and tourists who want to get away from winter and we would love to be able to offer this service again. So, if we could get Allegiant Air or another carrier to offer this service it could really take off. Before Covid, this was a popular service, and I think it is time to ramp it up again. If we could offer other commercial flights that would be a boon too – and each year we are seeing more enplanements and a better market,” he reflects, looking ahead to the airport’s clear path forward.
