New York Stewart International Airport

New York Stewart International Airport (KSWF) sits in Newburgh, New York, 60 miles north of Manhattan in the Hudson Valley. The field handles modest commercial service (JetBlue, Allegiant seasonal, Sun Country, Play) and a meaningful flow of business aviation, particularly the Hudson Valley corporate corridor (IBM Poughkeepsie was the historical anchor) and the West Point USMA flow. The two runways at KSWF (9/27 11,818 ft, 16/34 6,001 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. AVports operates the FBO. Field elevation is 491 feet, no density-altitude concerns. The dominant operational considerations are Hudson Valley winter weather (snow, freezing rain, occasional ice storms), summer thunderstorms, and the proximity to West Point USMA airspace. KSWF's structural appeal is the long runway with no slot pressure — for transatlantic charters that want to land in the NYC region without dealing with KJFK/KTEB/KHPN slot games, KSWF is a viable alternative. Ground time to West Point is 25 minutes; the Hudson Valley wine country is 30; Manhattan via the Tappan Zee / Cuomo Bridge is 90–120 minutes.
