Stewart Airport doesn't see the type of traffic its New York City counterparts do. With fewer options available, some travelers may choose to fly out of JFK or LaGuardia airports.
"I have flown out of here multiple times and I'm not going to lie, a lot of times, even before COVID hit, it was like a dead zone," Newburgh resident Brittany Robinson said.
"I think it's underutilized and we've spent a lot of money in the last few years renovating, changing the place, and (there's) less routes, less airlines in the place," said Newburgh resident Michael Vela.
