Stewart Airport Upgrades Push Toward First Class Status
Stewart Airport, under the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, has quietly transformed into a first class facility with all weather navigational aids, upgraded aprons, a charter terminal, and expanded traffic. In 1972 there were 159 major airline flights, 82 charter flights, and 432 cargo flights, with MTA projecting 125,000 total flight operations this year as cargo and passenger flights rise.
