Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying private to The Hamptons.

Approximately 35 minutes by light jet or turboprop from Teterboro (KTEB) or White Plains (KHPN). By helicopter from a Manhattan heliport, expect roughly 40 minutes depending on routing and airspace.
KHTO's runway is 4,255 ft, which is too short for most heavy jets. We recommend light jets (Citation M2, Phenom 100), turboprops (King Air 350), or helicopters. If you need a heavy jet, we route to KFOK (Westhampton) which has a 9,000 ft runway.
East Hampton enforces noise-abatement curfews, typically no arrivals after 11:00 PM and no departures before 7:00 AM on weekends and peak summer dates. We plan your flight within these windows and always have KFOK as a 24/7 alternate.
