STEWART AIRPORT – New York Stewart International Airport at Newburgh has landed its second international flights with nonstop service to the Faroe Islands.

Atlantic Airways will operate seasonal weekly service from August 22 through October 4 to Vagar, the sole airport on the Faroe Islands.

Mid-Hudson News first reported the impending service in March with a Caribbean airline applying for Stewart service as well.

Atlantic Airways plans to operate weekly outbound flights from Stewart on Wednesdays with return flights to Stewart on Tuesdays. The flights will take about six hours.

“Offering nonstop service to the Faroe Islands is a historic first not just for New York Stewart, but for the nation,” said Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton.

Play Airlines operates daily flights to Reykjavik, Iceland from Stewart with connections to dozens of European cities.

Allegiant Air operates service to Orlando-Sanford, Punta Gorda and St. Pete-Clearwater in Florida, as well as Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Frontier Airlines offers service to Orlando.
