Port Authority 'committed' to Stewart airport
4 Nov 2008
One year after taking over Stewart international airport, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has reaffirmed its commitment to the gateway.
The organisation said that it has a goal of expanding the airport, which is an hour north of New York City, in order to help meet the region's growing aviation and economic needs.
Chris Ward, the Port Authority's executive director, spoke of his ideas for the airport at a meeting with the Orange County Chamber of Commerce.
'We need to imagine what we want Stewart to be 30 years from now and how it will serve as an engine of jobs and economic growth in the Hudson Valley,' he said.
'The development plan will take advantage of Stewart airport's unique size and location while taking into account the sensitive community and environmental concerns of the surrounding area.'
Over the next ten years, some $500m (£314m) will be invested in improving the airport and boosting customer access to the hub.
At the end of this week, US Airways plans to add a fourth daily flight to its range of services from Stewart international airport.
