The city-owned Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp. (BNY) will not renew its lease with NYC manufacturer Easy Aerial, NYC Council Member Lincoln Restler revealed on X/Twitter last week, citing the manufacturer's supply of drones to Israel.

"Easy Aerial is leaving the Brooklyn Navy Yard," Restler wrote on X. "This public asset should not be leasing space to companies producing drones that are being transformed into weapons of war."
Restler noted that the decision was made in January 2026 but was formally acted upon at a board meeting last week, where it would have "essentially been the final chance to do so [renew]."
"I’ve been in close touch with BNY leadership & am grateful for their decision," Restler added.
