Modern Aviation Groton

Modern Aviation at Groton-New London Airport serves Connecticut's southeastern shoreline, putting passengers within easy reach of Mystic Seaport, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods casinos, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and the submarine base at Naval Station New London. The FBO was previously known as Mystic Jet Center before Modern Aviation acquired the operation and brought it into their national network. Hours run from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily, and the facility provides fuel services, hangar storage, aircraft maintenance, and standard passenger amenities. The airport has two asphalt runways, the longer of which is 5,000 feet, adequate for light and midsize jets. Groton-New London sits three nautical miles southeast of Groton's center, with quick highway access to I-95 and the shoreline communities of Mystic, Stonington, and Old Lyme. During summer months, private aviation traffic picks up as travelers head to the Connecticut coast and the casinos, both of which are 15 to 20 minutes by car. The location also works as a staging point for visits to Watch Hill and the Rhode Island beaches just across the state line. Modern Aviation has been expanding its FBO portfolio across the Northeast, and the Groton facility reflects their standard of professional ground handling and competitive fuel pricing. For charter passengers visiting southeastern Connecticut, this airport offers a much simpler arrival than flying into Hartford or Providence and driving over an hour back to the coast.
