Syracuse, N.Y. –The Syracuse Regional Airport Authority is planning to build 2,000 more parking spaces at Syracuse Hancock International Airport, a 44% increase designed to end frequent congestion during peak travel periods.

The airport has a little more than 4,500 surface and garage parking spaces, which often fill up during holidays and other peak travel periods, including winter school vacation weeks when many families head south. It will have at least 6,500 parking spaces when the expansion is completed in a few years.
