OGDENSBURG -- Ogdensburg International Airport recently had the 100,000th passenger since their 2015 expansion.

David Foran and his family from Petawawa, Ont. were the passengers that reached the milestone.

Foran and his party won the cost of their flights to Orlando and free valet parking as a thank you for flying through OGS.

“This is our first time through Ogdensburg International Airport and we love it! What a great experience!” Foran said in a news release from the airport. “My wife heard of Ogdensburg through a co-worker and we decided to try it out. We saved over $1,000 USD versus flying out of Ottawa airport! The experience and staff are wonderful.”

“We thank everyone who flies out and into our airport as we continue to serve the needs of the North Country and Canadian public,” OBPA Chairman Vernon “Sam” Burns said in a news release. “We must continue increasing flight and destinations from our airport to become the economic engine we all hope for.”

Oversight of the Ogdensburg Bridge & Port Authority is authority’s board of directors including Burns, Megan Whitton, Christopher Coffin, David King, Joseph Andriano and Davis.

The authority’s mission is to “manage regional infrastructure while working with the private sector to create jobs and investment,” Davis said in the news release.
