History
Mohawk Airlines in the 1960s and Empire Airlines in the 1980s each had hubs at UCA. Both would eventually become part of USAir, which maintained a presence and several facilities at UCA. In 1995, USAir ended its jet service at UCA, and closed its heavy maintenance base and reservations center.
UCA has not had commercial service since Continental Connection carrier CommutAir ended service on June 30, 2002. In its final years, UCA had been receiving its service though the EAS program; declining ridership led the required subsidy to breach the $200 per passenger statutory cap.
Service was transferred to nearby Griffiss International Airport following the closure of Oneida.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
