The airport opened in 1949 on the site of a former World War II bomber base and received international status in 1970.

The airport passed 3 million passengers in 2024 — its busiest year in 75 years of operation — despite Southwest Airlines withdrawing service mid-year. Eight airlines serve 29 nonstop destinations, with American, Delta, and United providing connections to major hubs. The airport is operated by the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority, a New York public benefit corporation established in 2011.
