Why the Hawker 400XP Fits Long Island
With 1,519 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Long Island to destinations such as Toronto, Orlando and Turks and Caicos, allowing for reserves and routing. Hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th, and winter storms can slow every airport around New York, so we watch the forecast.
Long Island trips in this class usually leave from Republic in East Farmingdale or MacArthur in Ronkonkoma, and summer trips to the Hamptons use East Hampton or Gabreski. Whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is up to the operator for that aircraft, its weight and the conditions that day, and your advisor confirms it before anything is booked.
How Long Island Clients Use the Hawker 400XP
Light jets cover a wide range of Long Island trips, from Boston, Washington and Toronto to Charlotte and Atlanta, and they are a common choice for summer weekends in the Hamptons. Most seat six to eight, many have a lavatory, and the cabin is comfortable for a flight of two or three hours.
