The 77.967-acre (315,520 m 2) flying field was developed in the late winter and early spring of 1928 and was originally owned and operated by Fairchild Engine & Airplane Manufacturing Company. Fairchild purchased property on the south side of Route 24-Conklin Street and had the airport's original layout plan prepared on November 3, 1927. Republic Airport was developed by Sherman Fairchild as the Fairchild Flying Field in East Farmingdale on Long Island, NY in late 1927 as his flying field and airplane factory on Motor Avenue in South Farmingdale was inadequate to support the mass production of his Fairchild FC-2 and Fairchild 71 airplanes. On behalf of NY State's Department of Transportation, the airport is currently managed by AvPORTS, a US-based and owned operator and manager of airports. Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 3,586 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 2,866 in 2009, and 2,783 in 2010. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation reliever airport. Republic Airport ( IATA: FRG, ICAO: KFRG, FAA LID: FRG) is a regional airport in East Farmingdale, New York, located one mile east of Farmingdale village limits.
