(TOWN OF MAINE, NY) – Broome County is welcoming the return of daily air service from Delta Air Lines between the Greater Binghamton Airport (BGM) and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), beginning May 7, 2026.

“We’re grateful to Governor Hochul and Senator Schumer for their support in helping restore this service to BGM,” said Broome County Executive Jason Garnar. “I encourage the community to take advantage of this service and consider flying out of BGM whenever possible so we can continue to grow and expand air service in the future.”

The restored service will feature a 70-seat regional jet operating one daily flight, reconnecting Broome County to one of Delta’s busiest hubs. Detroit serves as a key Midwest gateway, offering travelers convenient access to a wide range of domestic and international connections.

The current schedule includes a mid-day arrival into Binghamton at approximately 1:45 p.m., with a return departure to Detroit at approximately 2:30 p.m.

(TOWN OF MAINE, NY) – The Greater Binghamton Airport will be performing its Triennial Emergency Drill with supporting agencies on Wednesday, May 29, 2024 from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. This required drill is conducted every three years for all commercial service airports. Supporting firefighting agencies, law enforcement, and ambulance services will all participate in real time.

Airport operations will coordinate with first response agencies and the Broome County Office of Emergency Services to perform a theoretical drill simulating a large plane crash with a multitude of victims. The purpose of this drill is to practice for the worst-case scenario at the airport so emergency responders can be more confident in their ability to react to a time sensitive incident. The drill will also identify inefficiencies among participants with the goal of improving the airport’s Emergency Response Plan and keep people traveling through BGM safe.

This drill is not open to members of the public for viewing.
