We were crossing over to ON from NYS at Ogdensburg this Sunday and notice the giant sign on the bridge approach announcing flights to Florida in 2016. The airport expansion had been announced a good year ago, but this seemed to make it very real.
Did a little surfing when I got home and found out that Allegiant is now definitely signed up, and flights are expected to start in November 2016. They are extending the runway by 1200 feet and realigning SR89 around the extension. The sign did indicate Florida; really hoping for Orlando, even if Allegiant flies into Sanford.
This could really provide a great option for Ottawa and other Eastern Ontario travellers as the airport is only an hour away, and that is one of the sleepiest border crossings around (a summer Sunday afternoon, around 4:00, only one other car at the border crossing when we got there). Note that parking at the airport is free as well (at least for now).
