SYRACUSE, N.Y.— NUAIR this week formally opened its new headquarters at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR).

The nonprofit NUAIR is short for the Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research Alliance, Inc. Its headquarters previously was located at 250 Harrison St. in Syracuse.

“Opening our headquarters in the Syracuse Hancock International Airport just makes sense,” Ken Stewart, president and CEO of NUAIR, said in the announcement. “Our team works with the next generation of uncrewed and electric aircraft and is developing the platform to safely integrate them into the national airspace… what better place to work than in an airport that has had military drones like the MQ-9 Reaper taking off autonomously for years? We’re honored that many of our partners and legislature are here to celebrate this occasion and continue to recognize the innovation in Central New York.”

Those attending the event included Assemblymembers William Magnarelli (D–Syracuse); Pamela Hunter (D–Syracuse); and Al Stirpe (D–Cicero), as well as other representatives from New York; NUAIR board and Alliance members; key executives; and industry partners.

“We are at an incredible time in Central New York’s history as we have assumed a leadership position in proving Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft can safely, securely, and efficiently integrate into the National Airspace System,” Jason Terreri, executive director of the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority, said in the NUAIR announcement. “We are proud to partner with NUAIR to remain on the cutting edge of these efforts and are excited to see how they positively impact the way we move people and goods throughout Central New York and beyond!”

NUAIR says its newly established headquarters at SYR sits immediately next to the NUAIR Center of Excellence for Advanced Air Mobility.

The organization says its Center of Excellence “offers visitors a glimpse into the future of transportation” with UAS and advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft.
