<p class="blog-para">Buffalo Niagara International Airport opened as buffalo municipal airport in 1926 on former farmland, making it one of the country's oldest public airports. The original airport included a small terminal building, one hangar, and four cinder runways, each 3,000 feet (910 m) long by 100 feet (30 m) wide. Passenger and mail service began in December 1927, with service to Cleveland. A spa-built art deco v-shaped terminal with a large cylindrical tower opened in 1939, replacing the original terminal. At this time, the airport had four paved runways: runway 5/23 was 5,630 feet long,runway 13/31 (now 14/32) was 5,730 feet (1,750 m) long, runway 1/19 was 5,000 feet (1,500 m) long, and runway 8/26 was 3,650 feet (1,110 m) long. All of the runways were 150 feet (46 m) wide. Run ways 1&ndash;19 and 8&ndash;26 were closed in the 1950s, and runway 13&ndash;31 was renamed runway 14&ndash;32.</p>
<p class="blog-para">The terminal's first expansion was completed in 1955. This addition expanded the terminal to 11 gates, tripled the terminal's square footage and added a restaurant and lounge. In 1959, the airport was acquired by the Niagara frontier transportation authority from the city of buffalo and renamed greater buffalo international airport.</p>
<p class="blog-para">The terminal received another overhaul in 1961 that added a new control tower and a concourse for American airlines. The first scheduled jet service was American Boeing 727 service to/from New York in 1965; runway 5&ndash;23 was extended northeast from 5,645 feet (1,721 m) to 8,100 feet (2,500 m) later that year. In 1968, an auxiliary terminal building, west terminal, was announced. Construction began in 1969 and it opened in 1971 with nine gates. During this time, an all-new airport to be located in wheat field, New York was in the planning stages and so the west terminal was intended to have a ten-year life expectancy.</p>
