STEWART AIRPORT – As Frontier Airlines prepares to drop its service to Florida from New York Stewart International Airport on July 2, the airport’s parent organization has applied to the US Department of Transportation for a grant to subsidize new airline service at the Newburgh area facility.
Port Authority director of airline attraction Alex Minton told the Stewart Airport Commission on Tuesday they would like to provide service to hub airports.
“We applied for a grant to attract service to cities like Chicago, Charlotte, or Washington, D.C., which would allow customers to connect onward to a host of destinations that we know they were traveling to already,” he said.
Back in the 1990s, all three of those cities were served from Stewart.
