history

The land on which the current airport is located was sold in 1930 by the Stewart family to the city of Newburgh (City, New York) , which built an airport on the site. The city again sold the airport to the government in 1934 for one US dollar . In 1939 the West Point Military Academy opened a military airfield and used it for pilot training. In 1948 the airfield became Stewart Air Force Base .

Arrival of the former hostages from Tehran

In 1970 the base was deactivated and bought by the state of New York. After the runway 09/27 was extended to its current length of 3602 meters in 1980, the first companies settled at the airport in the 1980s. In 1981, the former hostages from Tehran were brought back to the United States via Stewart Air Force Base . The New York Air National Guard has had a base at the east end of the airport since 1983 . In 1989, a freight terminal opened and the United States Postal Service set up a mail distribution center. The first scheduled flights were offered by American Airlines in 1990 . On March 31, 2000, what was then known as Stewart International Airport became the first privately operated commercial airport in the United States when the National Express Group won a 99-year lease. In 2006 a new control tower was built. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey took over the airport on November 1, 2007, and the National Express Group paid 78.5 million US dollars for the remaining 93 years of the lease.

On January 5, 2018, an Airbus A380 was diverted to the airport due to a snow storm. On February 15, 2018, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced that it would invest several million US dollars in the facilities of the United States Customs and Border Protection at the airport. The authority also announced on February 21, 2018 that it would rename Stewart International Airport. It was formally renamed New York Stewart International Airport on June 29, 2018.
