Oneida County Airport (IATA: UCA, ICAO: KUCA, FAA LID: UCA) was a public airport in Whitestown in Oneida County, New York, six miles (10 km) northwest of downtown Utica. The airport covered 1,800 acres (7.3 km2) and had two runways.
Oneida County closed the airport in January 2007 and transferred operations to Griffiss International Airport, (formerly Griffiss Air Force Base) about five miles (8 km) to the north in Rome, New York.
Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport boarded 2,122 passengers in calendar year 2004 and 1,951 in 2005. The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2007–2011 classified it as a general aviation airport.
In the 1940s Utica Municipal Airport was a sod field (no paved runways) at 43°10′16″N 75°18′50″W / 43.171°N 75.314°W; Oneida County Airport may not have opened until after 1950.
