Security & Rules

 

“In light of the recent incident on Northwest flight 253 on Christmas day the Transportation Security Administration will be implementing additional security measures throughout the nation as well as the Greater Binghamton Airport.
 
At this time there are no changes for items allowed or prohibited through the screening process for BGM passengers. Procedures have been stepped up for the implementation of this process however and passengers should allow extra time for these procedures. Please arrive 2 hours prior to departure during this busy travel season to accommodate increased security measures and additional passenger activity.
 
Additional information about increased security procedures can be found on the Transportation Security Administration website at www.tsa.gov”
 

The Greater Binghamton Airport is committed to ensuring a safe, secure travel experience for our passengers. In accordance to Department of Homeland Security directives our facility, as well as all airports in the US, are operating under Security Level High, or “Orange”. Under these enhanced security measures passengers will need to comply with more stringent screening requirements.

To help make your security screening process as smooth as possible, please arrive early enough to allow for the screening process. At least one hour prior to departure is generally adequate. High traffic times will require additional time. These times are generally early morning departures (6:00 AM) and holiday travel periods.

Greater Binghamton Airport has worked together with the TSA to devise a customer friendly manner to meet these requirements. In this partnership, the approach has been to implement a program that elevates security to its highest level, while still maintaining the convenience that local travelers have come to expect at the Greater Binghamton Airport.
