PLAY Leaving The Hudson Valley This September

Reports say the airline's final Stewart flight will depart on September 1. Play flights out of Boston and Baltimore will end in late October.

Play will now focus exclusively on routes between Iceland and mainland Europe.

Reason Play Airlines Is Leaving North America

Play says the move comes after underwhelming financial results in the U.S. market. Airline officials told investors that the change is due to the North American market having "changed significantly" since early 2022.

This marks the second time an international carrier has pulled out of Stewart, following Norwegian Air’s exit a few years back.
