Nonstop flight route between Española, New Mexico, United States and Newburgh, New York, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Ohkay Owingeh Airport (ESO), Española, New Mexico, United States and Stewart International Airport (SWF), Newburgh, New York, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,751 miles (or 2,818 kilometers).

A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the relatively short distance between Ohkay Owingeh Airport and Stewart International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Combined with a high temperature, this could make ESO a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.

Facts about Stewart International Airport (SWF):

• Area residents who were already fighting a large power plant proposal at nearby Storm King Mountain fiercely fought the expansion.
• The closest airport to Stewart International Airport (SWF) is Orange County Airport (MGJ), which is located only 8 miles (13 kilometers) W of SWF.
• After its closure as an air force base in the early 1970s, an ambitious plan by former Governor Nelson Rockefeller to expand and develop the airport led to a protracted struggle with local landowners that led to reforms in the state's eminent domain laws but no actual development of the land acquired.
• Two years later, after approval by the state's attorney general and comptroller as well as the FAA and the carriers, the contract was awarded to the UK-based National Express Group PLC, the only one of five bidders to have declined to present at a special forum organized a week prior to award, and also a company Lauder had praised in his book for its success with the UK's national bus service and subsequent acquisition of East Midlands Airport, leading to some suspicions that the state had always intended to give them the airport from the beginning.

• Because of Stewart International Airport's relatively low elevation of 491 feet, planes can take off or land at Stewart International Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
• The privatization effectively ended in 2007, when the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey board voted to acquire the remaining 93 years of the lease.
