PLAY, which will be serving 25 destinations in Europe and the Unted States this summer, will also begin flights to Baltimore/Washington in April and to Boston in May. “The addition of PLAY’s international service is important in realizing our post-pandemic vision for New York Stewart as a leading regional provider of both international and domestic air service and as a generator of strong economic growth,” said Rick Cotton, PANYNJ executive director.
It will utilize the $37-million, 20,000-square-foot customs and arrival facility that has so far not processed a single regularly scheduled airline flight. This Tuesday morning the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which holds a 80-year lease on the airport, held a press conference at Stewart to announce that PLAY Airlines, an Icelandic carrier, will establish daily service between the airport and Reykjavik, Iceland on June 5. Not one but two Scandinavian budget airlines are expected to begin regularly scheduled flights between Stewart and their home bases.
New York Stewart International Airport in Newburgh has had the unhappy distinction of being an international airport without a single passenger on a scheduled international flight for two and a half years.
