of the main runway 16/34 in 1988; the extension from 6,298 to 7,500 feet was completed in October 1990. In 1991 the airport was renamed to Binghamton Regional Airport. In 2002 Runway 16/34 was shortened to 7,100 feet to make room for an Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS). The EMAS is a bed of material that will crush under the weight of an aircraft, stopping the aircraft in the event of a runway overrun. In 2003 the airport was again renamed to the Greater Binghamton Airport. The airport's old linear terminal was unable to keep up with regional jet traffic, and four new jet bridges opened in July 2004. BGM got a $12.3 million federal grant in September 2011 to replace the old EMAS system installed in 2002 and extend Runway 16/34 to 7,304 feet. The project was completed in November 2012 and led to a displaced threshold on Runway 34. The airport lost significant airline service in the 2010s, with United Airlines and American Airlines exiting the airport in 2016, leaving the airport with one carrier, a single Delta Air Lines route to Detroit, for several years. In August 2022, low cost carrier Avelo Airlines announced new service from Binghamton to Fort Meyers and Orlando in Florida. These flights will be operated by a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. This is the first service to Florida the airport has had. The airline canceled the launch of its Fort Myers focus city on October 13, citing a lack of bookings due to Hurricane Ian. On September 14, 2022, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that the Greater Binghamton Airport was being awarded funds for renovations under the state's Upstate Airport Economic Development and Revitalization initiative. US$32 million of state funds and $5M from other sources was earmarked for upgrades including integration of the general aviation and passenger terminals, replacement of the loading-zone canopy, and construction of new facilities for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
