New York –Starting June 29, 2017, there will be an additional option for passengers using ground transportation at Syracuse International Airport. Airport Officials announced today that they have signed an agreement allowing the ride sharing company to operate on airport property.
The popular app based service is the fastest growing ridesharing company in the U.S. and is available in more than 350 communities and 220 airports.
“We're thrilled to announce our partnership with the Syracuse Hancock International Airport which will bring Lyft's safe, reliable, and affordable transportation options to the millions of passengers who travel through SYR each year.” said Kirk Safford, Lyft’s Senior Manager – Airports & Venues. “Lyft would like to thank the Executive Director, Christina Callahan, and her staff for their collaborative effort in reaching this agreement.”
The airport will have a designated Lyft pick-up area for passengers that would like to use the service, located on the North end of the Terminal.

Most airport layouts were designed when passengers played cards while waiting for a flight because an onboard meal was an expectation and the very idea of a smartphone would have been laughable.
What was once a mess of beam seating everywhere now has a multi-function use: part lounge, part cafe, part office and a wealth of amenities. New uses of spaces as well as new types of furniture are finding their way into the airport because today's passenger is really focused on getting to point B rather than the journey itself. Airport design and furniture elements have a stronger impact on the passenger experience than one may realize. There's the comfort. The durability. The usability.
Matt Dubbe from Mead and Hunt and Joe Agati from Agati Furniture will tackle these questions and others in: Airport Interiors are Experiencing Massive Change: What You Need to Know.
