Crowded airports have NYC officials looking for alternatives <\/strong><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

All passengers arriving on flights to New York City<\/a><\/strong> can attest to the strain put on the three main airports serving the Big Apple. Kennedy and LaGuarida Airports in Queens and Newark Liberty International Airport<\/a><\/strong> in northern New Jersey are three of the busiest hubs in the world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Plans for expansion at all three airports are severely limited by their urban locations, forcing officials to come up with creative alternatives. According to a report from USA Today<\/a>, Port Authority officials are now offering airlines incentives to fly out of the much smaller Stewart International Airport located in the Hudson Valley.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sitting just 55 miles north of the city, the hub was recently granted approval for a $20 million expansion that could make it more attractive to passengers. All that\u2019s left is for the airport to attract larger airlines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to the report, the Port Authority will pay up to $3 per departing seat for airlines offering new, non-stop service out of Stewart. The authority will also kick in funds for marketing and advertising the new routes.<\/p>\n
