The runway at Buffalo-Lancaster Airport was planned to be extended from 3,199 to 5,500 ft (975 to 1,676 m), to be completed in 2010, which would have allowed it to accommodate larger airplanes and private jets. The airport is also an emergency landing site for Buffalo Niagara International Airport (handling smaller aircraft).
