May 25, 2021 Stewart AFB, Newburgh STEWART AIRPORT – Allegiant Air starts operating flights between New York Stewart International Airport and Savannah, Georgia effective this Wednesday. Flights were to begin in 2020 but were delayed because of the pandemic. Service will be non-stop to Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. Allegiant was the only airline serving Stewart that continued service all through the pandemic and that deserves special recognition, said Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus. “Allegiant is our MVP because they never stopped service. A lot of Orange County and Hudson Valley residents continued to use them during the pandemic and I hear nothing but positive reviews from people who fly on them,” he said.
