Location

Newburgh, United States

New York Stewart International Airport (SWF) is a commercial and cargo airport located in Newburgh, Orange County, New York, approximately 60 miles north of Midtown Manhattan. Originally developed as a military airfield, Stewart has evolved into a regional commercial airport serving the Hudson Valley and surrounding areas as an alternative to the congested New York City metro airports. The airport is owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which took over operations in 2007, and has seen efforts to expand commercial service and international routes. Its long runways, originally built for military use, make it capable of handling large wide-body aircraft. Passenger volumes are modest compared to the major New York metro airports, but Stewart serves as an uncongested alternative with easier parking, shorter security lines, and lower fees, appealing particularly to leisure travelers and budget-conscious flyers.
