at each end is displaced . Aircraft landing to the east have a landing distance available restriction, an additional reduction in length, making only usable for landing. Runway 27 has available for landing. The full length is available for takeoff in both directions. Runway 9 has an instrument landing system for category I and category II approaches and an ALSF2 approach lighting system. Runway 27 got an instrument landing system in recent years, but without any approach lighting landing minimums for this runway are higher. The crosswind runway 16–34 is long by wide and each end has GPS-based instrument approaches. The helipad H1 is asphalt, 40 by 40 feet (12 x 12 m). Statistics For the 12-month period ending November 30, 2017 the airport had 47,081 aircraft operations, an average of 129 per day: 54% general aviation, 18% air taxi, 17% military, and 10% scheduled commercial. In June 2018, 85 aircraft were then based at this airport: 43 jet, 3 multi-engine, 27 military, 5 single-engine, and 7 helicopter. Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 392,464 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 197,655 in 2009 and 201,684 in 2010. Top destinations Annual traffic Access One of the biggest impediments to the use of Stewart by more airlines and passengers has been getting to it. The Drury Lane exit and the access road, International Boulevard, are intended to remedy this. There have been plans to possibly implement a light rail connection along Broadway in Newburgh that could conceivably go out to Stewart from the ferry connection with the Metro-North passenger line across the Hudson River in Beacon. This project does not appear likely to happen any time soon. Currently, the only connection is via a shuttle bus. In 2006, with construction of the Drury Lane exit underway, Senator Charles Schumer put his weight behind getting federal aid for another long-discussed access improvement: a rail link to the nearby Metro-North Port Jervis Line, to give passengers an express train trip from the airport into the city or Newark Airport via Secaucus Junction. This would entail acquiring property and laying new tracks, to link to the existing line somewhere near the Salisbury Mills station. NEG had had success with the similar Gatwick Express and Midland Mainline rail-air connections in its native Britain. While the federal government has approved the idea, the money has not yet been appropriated. Starting in June 2017,
