OneJet will offer non-stop flights between Buffalo and Albany beginning Feb.1—a direct link between the Capital Region and New York state’s largest upstate city.
It will operate two times per day at convenient times for business travelers.
“The return of Buffalo-to-Albany air service is a testament to our efforts to revitalize the western New York economy that will only add to the momentum of this region’s renaissance,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “OneJet is a brand new airline to the Queen City, one that caters to people who want to get their business done quickly and go back home to their families. We welcome the expanded service this company will provide and look forward to building upon it even further.”
Flights between Buffalo Niagara International Airport and Albany International Airport will be as follows:
• Buffalo to Albany: departing 7 a.m.; arriving 7:55 a.m.
• Albany to Buffalo: departing 8:20 a.m.; arriving 9:20 a.m.
• Buffalo to Albany: departing 4:50 p.m.; arriving 5:45 p.m.
• Albany to Buffalo: departing 6:10 p.m.; arriving 7:10 p.m.
This summer, the company began offering direct flights from Albany to Pittsburgh.
“OneJet’s arrival at Buffalo Niagara International Airport is another sign of this region’s economic revival and emergence as a growing commercial aviation hub,” said Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul.
“Air service between Buffalo and Albany was presented as a mission-critical route for the Upstate New York business community, and we’re pleased to offer this new nonstop service to meet that demand,” said Matthew Maguire, OneJet CEO. “We look forward to working with our airport partners in Buffalo and Albany to serve travelers based in both cities.”
OneJet provides increased access to non-stop travel in mid-sized markets at a relatively competitive price. The service will be operated by the company’s Hawker 400XP jet aircraft. Passengers on the routes will have travel-enhancing benefits including TSA pre-access for eligible travelers, expedited boarding, complimentary high speed WiFi, and a selection of healthy snacks.
