From the Buffalo News:

The city’s first planeload of “daytrippers” arrived at Niagara Falls International Airport on Thursday from the Chicago area in what could be the beginning of a profitable relationship between the Niagara Falls airport and the equally under-used Chicago Rockford International Airport.
