The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, which acquired the Niagara Falls airport from the City of Niagara Falls in late 1969 for $2 million, also operates the Buffalo airport, so it is fully aware of what services it can and cannot provide, and what strains are developing as a result of increased passenger and freight traffic.
The NFTA stonewalled LaFalce and everyone else who criticized the deal and the way the deal was reached, much as the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority (of which Kahl was also a member) had been doing in its attempt to force its anachronistic and expensive steel twin span design on Buffalo.
NFTA is a public benefit corporation too, and it has used such funds for the development of the new Buffalo airport.

 Volume 10 - Opinions of Counsel SBRPS No. 116
Public Authorities Law, section 1012, provides in relevant part that the Power Authority "shall be required to pay no taxes or assessments upon any of the property acquired by it" in order to carry out its statutory purposes.
The Court therefore concluded that the exemption from "assessments" stated in Public Authorities Law, section 1685, could not be determined by relying on the definitions of "assessment" and "special assessment" set forth in RPTL, section 102(2) and (15), respectively.
One portion of section 1299-o provided that the Authority was required to pay no fees, taxes or assessments, but a second portion stated that the Authority was exempt from taxation and special ad valorem levies and that those terms had the same meanings as in section 102 of the RPTL.

In addition to seeking monetary damages, Prozeralik is asking the court to remove the NFTA from control of the airport on the grounds that the authority has flagrantly violated its operating contract with the city.
Niagara Falls City Councilman John Accardo and county Legislator Renae Kimble have joined Prozeralik as plaintiffs in the suit, and more than 20,000 area residents signed petitions opposing the deal.
Prozeralik has charged that the lease agreement is nothing but the latest outrage in an ongoing effort by the NFTA to keep the airport dormant in a misguided attempt to protect the Buffalo airport, which the authority also controls.

 Volume 10 - Opinions of Counsel SBRPS No. 16
Until recently, it was our opinion that section 1275 of the Public Authorities Law, which exempts MTA property from taxation, did not extend to special assessments.
Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, 82 A.D.2d 175, 442 N.Y.S.2d 322 (4th Dept., 1981), construed the exemption language in section 1299-o of the Public Authorities Law, which, at that time, was virtually identical to that used in section 1275.
That is, although the NFTA exemption statute (§1299-o) was amended to narrow its scope, the MTA exemption statute (§1275) has not been so amended.
