New York Stewart International Airport

Stewart sits in Newburgh, NY, operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. It has one of the longest runways in the Northeast at 11,817 feet, which means it can accept any aircraft up to and including large-cabin ultra-long-range jets without restriction. There are no slot requirements and no congestion, which makes scheduling straightforward compared to Teterboro or Westchester.

CBP is available on-site for international arrivals. The FBO facilities are modern and uncrowded. For passengers originating or terminating in the Hudson Valley, Catskills, or Orange and Dutchess counties, Stewart is often the most practical choice in the region. It also works as an alternative to HPN when Westchester is congested or when your aircraft needs more runway.

Midtown Manhattan is roughly 60 to 65 miles south via I-87, typically 90 minutes by car in normal conditions. Add 30 to 45 minutes during peak weekday hours. Car services routinely make the run and most FBO staff can arrange meet-and-greet pickup. West Point Military Academy is about 15 miles south. Woodbury Common Premium Outlets is 20 minutes. The Catskills are 45 minutes to the northwest. Stewart is not served by helicopter shuttle services to Manhattan on any regular basis, so ground transfer is the standard option.
