Griffiss International Airport

Griffiss International Airport (KRME) is a medium airport in Rome, NY. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KRME or IATA code RME. It sits in North America.

Griffiss International Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 11,820-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 11,820 ft (3,603 m), a ultra-long-range-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 7500, and Dassault Falcon 8X. In practice this transcontinental and transoceanic operations without performance penalties.

Griffiss International Airport sits near sea level at 504 ft.

Local operations run on America/New_York. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess currently tracks 127 departing and 218 arriving private-jet legs at KRME across the next six months of operator inventory. 5 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KRME are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.

Griffiss International Airport is a public airport in the northeastern United States, located one mile (1.6 km) east of the central business district of Rome, a city in Oneida County, New York. Publicly owned by the county, the airport is located on the former site of Griffiss Air Force Base, which closed in 1995. Four years later, the airfield hosted the Woodstock '99 music festival.
