Niagara Falls International Airport (IAG)

Niagara Falls International Airport (IAG) is a joint civil-military airfield, located approximately 6 NM east of the world-famous Niagara Falls and 16 NM northwest of the Buffalo International Airport (BUF) at Buffalo, NY. Primarily serving both local and transient general aviation, IAG also supports commercial and air taxi operations, and flight training. It is home to the Air Force Reserve Command’s 914th Air Refueling Wing which flies the KC-135R Stratotanker. Also located at IAG is the 107th Attack Wing of the New York Air National Guard which flies the unmanned MQ-9 Reaper aircraft. This varied mix of traffic and flight operations makes for a wide range of pilot experience and aircraft performance. View a printable Pilot Handbook of the IAG information found on this Web page.
