So, NY Gov candidate Rob Astorino is tilting at windmills, or more accurately, demanding gate closures at NY area airports for flights that don’t exist.

There are no direct flights from Sierra Leone, Liberia, or Guinea. None.

So you can’t actually halt/ban flights or prevent gates from being used for flights that don’t actually exist.
