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:
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“The principal office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–c. 120)
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
