Northeast Airlines Announces Stewart Will Become Its Hub

More direct flights are on their way to and from the Hudson Valley as an airline has decided to make Stewart Airport its new hub.

In a press release, Northeast Airlines has announced that they will call the Hudson Valley their home, launching their new fleet at Stewart Airport in Newburgh. Northeast's parent company, Volare Air group, said in the statement that the decision to build their hub in our area came after evaluating several airports to find the best possible location.

Northeast is building a new system to help local travelers avoid make strange transfers that take passengers to cities out of their way, only to fly back towards the Hudson Valley to reach their final destination. As a hub, many flights to popular destinations will now fly non-stop from Stewart.

No announcements have been made as to what specific destinations will be offered from Stewart, as final details are being ironed out between Northeast and the Port Authority. The press release indicated that a final deal is expected to be inked soon.

What do you think about a new airline hub being located at Stewart Airport? Is there a destination you're hoping will be offered non-stop from the Hudson Valley?
