WWII Hangars to be Demolished at Stewart

Earlier this month it was reported that Stewart Airport might be offering flights to Europe in 2017.

It was reported that the flights to different European locations, which would be through Norwegian Air, could be as cheap as $69 round trip. Which sounds very appealing to a Hudson Valley traveler. If you frequent Stewart then you're familiar with the hangers that sit adjacent to the terminal along First Street. There is some speculation that the demolition is being made to make room for Norwegian Airlines. According to the Daily Freeman the vintage World War II hangers are to be demolished in 2017.

Business Development Director Michael Torelli told the Daily Freeman he is looking forward to "positive development" coming to the site of the hangers. The hangers had been built around the 1930's and one hanger that was referred to as "hanger b" had already been taken down.

Norwegian Air flights are set to begin by June or July 2017.
