New York Air was a 1980s startup airline owned by Texas Air Corporation and based at LaGuardia Airport in New York City. The first flight by the company was on 19 December 1980.

The airline flew to thirteen U.S. states with flights to Boston, Charleston, Cleveland, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Greenville, Hartford, Jacksonville, Knoxville, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, New Orleans, five New York airports (Newark, La Guardia, JFK, Long Island and White Plains), Orlando, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Rochester, Tampa, Washington, D.C. and West Palm Beach.

The airline employed over 2000 people before it was acquired by Continental Airlines in 1986.

They operated 34 aircraft painted in a red colour scheme with an apple on the aircraft tail, evoking New York's nickname "The Big Apple."

It was well known for its box lunches, known as the "New York Nosh."
