About USAirports Flight Support
USAirports Flight Support is a family-owned, full-service FBO at Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport, providing 24/7/365 operations from a state-of-the-art facility on Scottsville Road. The terminal includes a lobby, a recreation room with a pool table and dartboard, a pilot lounge, and complimentary popcorn. While the recreation amenities may sound modest, they reflect the facility's welcoming, unpretentious character that has earned loyal customers across the region. USAirports provides comprehensive ground support including fueling, hangaring, aircraft maintenance through its FAA Part 145 certified repair station, cargo handling, tie-downs, and ramp parking. The certified mechanics on staff support both general aviation aircraft and provide line maintenance for commercial carriers serving Rochester, giving the operation an unusually broad range of capabilities. The facility handles both domestic and international private flights. For charter passengers, USAirports competes with Avflight on the same field and differentiates itself through its family-owned independence, maintenance expertise, and 24-hour availability. Rochester's location in western New York positions the airport as a gateway to the Finger Lakes wine region, with Canandaigua Lake about 30 miles south and Seneca Lake's wineries about 50 miles to the southeast. The University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology, and the Strong Memorial Hospital medical campus are all within 15 minutes of the airport. The city's technology sector, anchored by legacy optics companies and a growing startup ecosystem, drives steady business aviation traffic. The airport's 8,001-foot runway handles all business jet types. Western New York winters are demanding, with regular lake-effect snow events from nearby Lake Ontario, and USAirports maintains full deicing and snow removal capabilities to keep private aviation operating year-round.
