WNYC News | Jun 28, 2024

Private jet use has been rising globally after the pandemic, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Now, the agency is poised to cash in on the trend.

Aviation reporter Ned Russell joined WNYC host Tiffany Hanssen to explain the new plans to build private jet hangars at Stewart International Airport in Orange County, New York — which is located about 50 miles north of New York City.
