The unknown US airport that could change transatlantic travel forever
When the first passengers disembark at New York’s newest international airport on Thursday, they will be in for a shock. Stewart International is no bigger than a motorway service station. In fact, it’s probably smaller. And most of the time it's deserted. Last Saturday afternoon (usually peak time for international travel), it was remarkably empty –and remarkably clean.

I think that the airport has a future with budget international airlines, but never a major airline like Delta or British Airways.
People are attracted to cost, they jump for the lowest fare they can get, people are willing to drive long distances to get the cheapest fare.
I see all the time here in Northeast Wisconsin. We have 2 commercial airports (a bit crazy because both airports have the same exact airlines to the exact same destinations and they're only 20 miles apart and they both serve the same amount of people) with adequate commercial service. Instead of using the 2 airports, a lot of locals will drive like 2 hours to MKE, MSP, or ORD just to save literally $20 round trip.

Stupid idea Stewart is in the middle of nowhere.
That maybe good for people destined for the ny area, but for connections to continue on?, not so much.
But the low-cost model is generally all about point-to-point traffic. Transfer traffic is not on their radar.
It's not really Stewart is about 2 hours from NYC and has no public transportation. It would be better if they flew out of Westchester or Islip.
I said New York area not NYC!
Commenters sound like NYC folk?
