Stewart International Airport (SWF) is attempting a comeback.
Located in the towns of Newburgh and New Windsor, the small airport is considered easier to use than larger airports in New York City. But it has seen its share of struggles recently, especially when several major airlines left the airport during the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the Times Union, Stewart Airport’s operator, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and local officials are trying to help the airport stage a comeback by investing government funds into infrastructure projects and marketing the hub to prospective travelers and airlines. The airport offers cheap European flights, but still very few domestic flights which travelers say they want.
