STEWART AIRPORT – Before the pandemic struck, New York Stewart International Airport at Newburgh was served by a number of airlines, but only Allegiant Airways, with flights to Florida and Myrtle Beach, continues uninterrupted.

Jet Blue, Delta and American Airlines suspended operations, but returned temporarily when the federal government funded their expenses until last September when the CARES Act expired.

Delta and American pulled all of their equipment out of Stewart so airport officials are not optimistic that they will return any time soon. Delta had flown to Detroit and American flew to Philadelphia.

Jet Blue continues to have its equipment at Stewart, but the airline has not responded to several inquiries about possibly returning to the Hudson Valley.

The Port Authority’s air service development team continues to lobby a number of airlines to provide service to Newburgh.

Just months ago, Frontier Airlines began Stewart service to Florida, which has been very popular from the onset.
