Greater Binghamton Airport

Greater Binghamton Airport opened in the early 1950s and operates from a single small terminal serving the Johnson City/Binghamton area and New York’s Southern Tier. As the region’s primary regional airport, BGM handles modest passenger volumes and offers convenient connections to major Northeast hubs via regional and low‑cost carriers, making it a smart choice for travelers seeking cheap flights into the area. The airport is about a 10–15 minute (roughly 5‑mile) drive from downtown Binghamton and is reachable by car via NY‑17/I‑81, Broome County Transit buses, shuttles, taxis and rental cars. Not a major airline hub, BGM is generally considered affordable and user‑friendly for both business and university visitors.
