Bradley International Airport

Bradley sits in Windsor Locks, equidistant between Hartford and Springfield, MA, giving it a genuine dual-market catchment that few regional airports share. For private aviation, it offers full commercial infrastructure without the slot restrictions or congestion of Boston Logan or the New York metro airports. The main FBO is Million Air, which handles fuel, ramp, and ground services on the south side of the field.

The airport operates 24/7 with no curfew. Runway 6/24 runs 9,510 feet, which comfortably handles large-cabin jets and transatlantic arrivals. US Customs and Border Protection is available at Bradley for international arrivals, though scheduling in advance is advisable. There are no slot requirements.

Downtown Hartford is 15 miles south, roughly 20 minutes by car in normal traffic. Springfield, MA is 26 miles north, about 30 minutes. New Haven runs about 40 miles south and takes 45-50 minutes. Boston is roughly 100 miles northeast via I-90, typically 1.5 hours outside of peak commute hours. New York City is approximately 110 miles south via I-91 and I-95, ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on I-95 corridor traffic. Car services and black car operators are well established at Bradley given its commercial volume.
