Republic Airport( IATA : FRG, ICAO : KFRG, FAA LID : FRG) is a public airport in East Farmingdale in Suffolk County, on Long Island, in New York, United States [3] [2]

Contents

The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation reliever airport . [4] Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 3,586 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, [5] 2,866 in 2009, and 2,783 in 2010. [6] It is the busiest public general aviation airport within the State of New York and the third largest airport overall by total annual flights – behind only John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, respectively. [7]

On behalf of the New York State Department of Transportation, the airport is currently managed by AvPORTS – an American operator and manager of airports.

History

Early history

Republic Airport was developed by Sherman Fairchild as the Fairchild Flying Field in East Farmingdale in late 1927, after determining that his existing flying field & airplane factory complex on Motor Avenue in South Farmingdale was inadequate to support the mass production of his Fairchild FC-2 and Fairchild 71 airplanes. [8] [9] Fairchild purchased property on the south side of Conklin Street (New York State Route 24) and had the airport's original layout plan prepared on November 3, 1927. [8] [9] [10]

The 77.967-acre (315,520 m2) flying field was developed in the late winter and early spring of 1928 and was originally owned and operated by Fairchild Engine & Airplane Manufacturing Company. [9] The first flights from the Fairchild Flying Field took place in late spring of 1928 after the Fairchild Airplane and Airplane Engine factories and hangar were completed and aircraft were produced in the new factories. After Fairchild moved to Hagerstown, Maryland in 1931, Grumman Aircraft Engineering built planes at the airport from 1932 until the spring of 1937. [8] [9]

Seversky Aircraft moved there in January 1935 from College Point in Queens, and became Republic Aviation in 1939. [8] [9] [10] Republic built more than 9,000 P-47 Thunderbolts in Farmingdale during World War II and expanded Republic Field, erected three hangars and a control tower and lengthened and hardened the runways. [11] Republic built the straight-wing F-84 Thunderjet and the swept-wing F-84 Thunderstreak during the Korean War and extended Runway 14/32 to the southeast over the objections of Long Island State Parks Commissioner Robert Moses. [8] [9] [12]

Republic Aviation produced over 800 F-105 Thunderchief fighter bombers during the Vietnam Era. [8] [9] [10] [13] Republic Aviation was acquired by the Fairchild-Hiller Corp. in 1965 for $24.5 million and Fairchild stock. [10] Flight Safety Inc. ran Republic Airport as a general aviation airport beginning on December 7, 1966, for the Joseph Mailman's Farmingdale Corporation, which had purchased the field from Fairchild Hiller for $8 million in 1965. [8] [9] [10] [13]

Modern history

MTA era: 1969 – 1983

Republic Airport was acquired by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) on March 31, 1969. [10] [14] The MTA installed an instrument landing system (ILS) on Runway 14/32, built the terminal building at Republic Airport, and cooperated with the Federal Aviation Administration, which built the current, 100-foot (30 m) control tower. [15]

The MTA also got the US Government to transfer 94 acres (380,000 m2) to the airport in 1971 and purchased the 77-acre (310,000 m2) Lambert property on the north side of New York State Route 109 and the Breslau Gardens development between New Highway and NY 109 in 1972. [10] [16] [17] [18]

The MTA also proposed building a major intermodal transportation facility at the airport. [14] [19] This hub would have served trains, buses, and general aviation, and would have also been the site of three office buildings built atop the Long Island Rail Road's Main Line using air rights – however, this project was ultimately never built. [14] [15] [20] Similar proposals were made in the 21st century – but those, too, were never built. [21]

NYSDOT era: 1983 – present

After complaints that the MTA was not contributing taxes to local governments and questions about the MTA spending at Republic, ownership of the airport was transferred to the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) by the New York State Legislature in April 1983, to promote economic development in the surrounding Long Island region. [10] [16] [20] The Republic Airport Commission was created by the New York State Legislature in 1982 (Chap. 370, L.1982) "...as an advisory council to the Commissioner of Transportation in the administration and management of the Republic Airport facilities and its surrounding areas with respect to projects to be undertaken at such airport." [9] [10] [22]

The Long Island Republic Airport Historical Society, was formed in 1984, and was chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York in 1987. [11] [23] [24]

In 1987, Fairchild went out of business. Much of its historic Fairchild-Republic factory complex was subsequently sold and redeveloped as the Airport Plaza shopping center. [9] [13] [11] [25]

In the early 1990s, NYSDOT proposed extending one of the runways at the airport at its northern end. The proposal was ultimately called-off in 1995. [26]

In late May 2015, a major fire broke out in one of the former, vacant Fairchild-Republic aircraft factory buildings, severely damaging the structure. [27]

In April 2023, Republic Jet Center announced that it broke ground on a new, $28 million FBO facility at the airport to replace its old one. [28] The 50,000-square-foot (4,600 m2) facility is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2024. [28]

Historic airline service

The airport has seen scheduled passenger airlines over the years – including Cosmopolitan Airlines and Provincetown-Boston Airlines (operating as Continental Express) in the 1980s, and Northwest Airlink in the 1990s. [15] [29] [30] [31]

Facilities

Runways and helipads

The airport covers 530 acres (210 ha) of land and has two runways and two helipads: [32] [33] [34]

Airport buildings and structures

Republic Airport has a two-story terminal building serving passengers boarding charter flights to nearby cities, such as Atlantic City, New Jersey. [15] This terminal building was constructed in the 1980s and has previously been used by regional airlines, including Northwest AIrlink. [15]

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has an office at the terminal building; however, it is staffed by appointment only and pilots must request immigration services four hours prior to arrival. [35]

General aviation

There are three fixed-base operators that serve corporate and light general aviation customers at Republic Airport: Sheltair (now Modern Aviation), Republic Jet Center (affiliated with Signature Aviation), and Atlantic Aviation. [36] [37]

Museums

The Long Island Republic Airport Historical Society maintains historical archives and sixteen photographic exhibits illustrating the history of aviation on the first floor of the Republic Airport terminal building, behind the airport's control tower, on the east side of New York State Route 110. [11] [23] [24]

Republic Airport is also home to the American Airpower Museum, which offers visitors the opportunity to see World War II aircraft in flight. [38]

Operations

Charter airlines serving Republic Airport include Air Rutter International, Northeastern Aviation Corporation, Ponderosa Air, Sundance Aviation, Talon Air, and Ventura Air Services. [39] [40] [41] [42] [43]

Most NHL teams flying charter flights onto Long Island to play the New York Islanders use Republic Airport. [44] [45]
