Greater Binghamton/Edwin A. Link Field (BGM/KBGM) is a public airport serving Binghamton and the Southern Tier region of New York State. It is owned and operated by Broome County and sits at an elevation of approximately 1,636 feet above sea level, making it one of the higher-elevation commercial airports in the northeastern United States.
