Hector International Airport

However, it is hardly uncommon for airports in both the northern and southern tiers to be called "International" — the only requirement for the designation is customs service.
Passenger service to the airport is largely provided by Northwest Airlines, although there are a few United Express flights. The airport also has extensive cargo airline activity.
The airport is also home to the Happy Hooligans, an F-16 fighter unit of the Air National Guard.
