NY Governor Seeks Federal Help as Drones Disrupt Airport Operations

A drone sighting temporarily shut down runways at Stewart International Airport in New York, prompting Governor Kathy Hochul to call for federal assistance and legislative action to enhance drone oversight. This incident is part of a series of drone sightings in New York and New Jersey, leading to ongoing federal investigations. Officials are concerned about the potential security risks, although many sightings may be misidentified aircraft. The FAA has imposed temporary no-drone zones in response to the activity.
