Stewart International Airport

Stewart International Airport (IATA: SWF), originally opened as a military airfield in 1934 and later expanded for civilian use, is a compact regional airport with a single passenger terminal serving Newburgh and the Hudson Valley. As a smaller alternative to NYC’s big airports, Stewart is an important gateway for northern New Jersey and the Hudson Valley and is popular with travelers seeking cheaper fares and less crowded terminals. It’s easily reached by car from I-84 and I-87, offers regional bus links and connections to Metro‑North via the nearby Newburgh‑Beacon ferry, and generally yields more affordable flights. SWF is not a major airline hub but hosts low‑cost carriers like Allegiant Air and seasonal international charters.
