Buffalo-Lancaster Regional Airport (ICAO: KBQR, FAA LID: BQR, formerly D77) is a privately owned, public use airport in Erie County, New York, United States. It is located three nautical miles (6 km) northeast of the central business district of Lancaster, a village in the Town of Lancaster, east of Buffalo.
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned BQR by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.
The runway at Buffalo-Lancaster Airport was planned to be extended from 3,200 ft (980 m) to 5,500 ft (1,700 m), to be completed in 2010, which would have allow it to accommodate larger airplanes and private jets. The airport is also an emergency landing site for Buffalo-Niagara International Airport (handling smaller aircraft).
